Hierarchical clustering is a method of clustering data where the data are not partitioned into a particular cluster in a single step. Instead, clusters are formed incrementally by merging smaller clusters together to form larger clusters. This process continues until all the data are in a single cluster or until some stopping criterion is met. Therefore, option C is true. Options A, B, and D are not true.
