The ____ of error is more difficult than ____
A
Detection, Correction
B
Correction, Convolution
C
Correction, Detection
D
Convolution, Detection
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correction of errors is more difficult than the detection. In error detection, we are looking only to see if any error has occurred. The answer is a simple yes or no. In error correction, we need to know the exact number of bits that are corrupted and more importantly, their location in the message.

Detailed explanation-2: -Error detection is a method that can look at some data and detect if it has been corrupted while it was stored or transmitted. Error correction is a step better than error detection; when it detects an error it tries to put the data back to how it should have been.

Detailed explanation-3: -Error detection is accomplished by using a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) method like Parity, Checksum Calculation or Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). ∴ Hence the correct answer is the Cyclic Redundancy Code.
