Suggested Answer: D

Healthcare can benefit from AI, and in particular Machine Learning, in a number of ways. One example is diagnostic image analysis, which can help to automatically identify and classify abnormalities in medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans. Machine Learning algorithms can be used to detect patterns in the data which can be used to accurately diagnose diseases and illnesses.

Option A is the way to go. It's the only one that makes sense - a vector is just a one-dimensional array, like a fancy 1D list.

I'm going with option A. It's the only one that really matches the definition of a vector from vector calculus.

Wait, isn't a vector just a constant? Option D seems too simple, but maybe that's the right answer.

Hold on, I thought a vector was an array of complex numbers, like option C. That seems more like what a vector is in math.

I think the answer is A. In computer programming, a vector is an array with one dimension, which represents a quantity with both magnitude and direction.
