Which of the following algorithm uses Darwinian based

Solution

• Why Correct (Genetic Algorithm):
  Genetic algorithms are inspired by Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection. They use mechanisms such as selection, crossover, and mutation to evolve solutions over generations. They are best suited for complex optimization problems with multiple variables.
• Why Others are Wrong:
• Option 2 (A): * A heuristic search algorithm for pathfinding and graphs, not Darwinian.
• Option 3 (Minimax): Used in game theory for minimizing opponent’s maximum gain, not evolution-based.
• Option 4 (Hill Climbing): Iterative optimization technique, but not based on evolutionary principles.
