B) algorithm; heuristics
C) heuristic; algorithms
D) initial state; heuristics

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An algorithm is a specific set of steps that will always solve a particular problem, while heuristics are easy-to-follow rules that often solve a problem. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because constraints are limitations or restrictions that are imposed on a solution rather than specific steps to follow. Option C is incorrect because heuristics and algorithms are different types of problem-solving strategies, so the answer cannot be two different types of strategies. Option D is incorrect because initial state refers to the beginning state of a problem, not a problem-solving strategy.
