In "Cause and Effect", how did Worf know to go with Data's suggestion?


In the Star Trek TNG episode "Cause and Effect", there is the following dialogue right before the Enterprise collides with the Bozeman:



PICARD: Suggestions?


RIKER: Decompress Main Shuttle Bay. The explosive reaction may kick us out of the way.


DATA: Captain, I suggest we use the tractor beam to alter the other ship's trajectory.


PICARD: Mr. Worf, make it so.


WORF: Engaging tractor beam.



When Picard told Worf to "make it so", Worf had just heard two suggestions, so how did he know that Picard was referring to Data's suggestion? Data's suggestion was the most recent, but Picard never dismissed Riker's suggestion. In addition, Riker is the higher ranking officer, so shouldn't his suggestion carry more weight than Data's?


If I were Worf and Picard told me to "make it so", I would have said "Decompress main shuttle bay or engage the tractor beam?"
