The rapid expansion of resources required to encode configurations as their number of component features increases produces:
A) the consequential region.
B) a combinatorial explosion.
C) the generalization gradient.
D) a topographic representation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A combinatorial explosion refers to the rapid increase in the complexity of a problem due to the growth in the number of possible configurations as more variables or features are added. This makes the problem increasingly difficult to solve because of the exponential growth in the resources needed to explore all possible configurations.
