A
Information-Processing Approach
B
Artificial Intelligence Approach
C
Cognitive Revolution Approach
D
Scientific Method Approach
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -He described the problem of Artificial Intelligence as “that of making a machine behave in ways that would be called intelligent if a human were so behaving.” He used the term in a 1955 research proposal for the Dartmouth Summer Research Conference on Artificial Intelligence which took place the following year.

Detailed explanation-2: -emeritus Stanford Professor John McCarthy in 1955, was defined by him as “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines”. Much research has humans program machines to behave in a clever way, like playing chess, but, today, we emphasize machines that can learn, at least somewhat like human beings do.

Detailed explanation-3: -He coined the term “Artificial Intelligence, ” invented the first programming language for symbolic computation, LISP (which is still used as a preferred language in the field of AI), and invented and established time-sharing. Human-level AI and commonsense reasoning were two of his major contributions.

Detailed explanation-4: -McCarthy, Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester and Claude E. Shannon coined the term “artificial intelligence” in a proposal that they wrote for the famous Dartmouth conference in Summer 1956. This conference started AI as a field.

Detailed explanation-5: -What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions.
