Explanation:

To identify the criteria for evaluating potential solutions in the rational decision - making model for increasing recycling participation, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Interviewing leaders in other communities to find out how they encourage recycling is about gathering ideas for solutions, not identifying evaluation criteria.
• Option 2: Locating which neighborhoods in the community have the lowest rates of recycling is about identifying problem areas, not evaluation criteria.
• Option 3: Researching and reading articles that detail the chemical processes of recycling is about the technical aspects of recycling, not evaluation criteria.
• Option 4: Determining a specific percentage target of residents for increasing recycling gives a measurable criterion (the percentage of residents) to evaluate how successful a solution is in increasing recycling participation. This aligns with identifying criteria for evaluating potential solutions.

Answer:

D. Determining a specific percentage target of residents for increasing recycling
