What is the primary characteristic of the "trial and error" method of problem-solving?

• It is a brute-force approach that tries all possible solutions one by one.

• It involves using a step-by-step algorithm to reach a solution.

• It relies on making random attempts until a successful solution is found.

• It is only applicable to mathematical problems.
