The k-means algorithm is a
A
Supervised learning algorithm
B
Unsupervised learning algorithm
C
Semi-supervised learning algorithm
D
Weakly supervised learning algorithm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -K-Means clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm. There is no labeled data for this clustering, unlike in supervised learning. K-Means performs the division of objects into clusters that share similarities and are dissimilar to the objects belonging to another cluster.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hierarchical clustering, also known as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), is an unsupervised clustering algorithm that can be categorized in two ways; they can be agglomerative or divisive.

Detailed explanation-3: -K means clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm that partitions n objects into k clusters, based on the nearest mean.

Detailed explanation-4: -K-Means Clustering is an Unsupervised Learning algorithm, which groups the unlabeled dataset into different clusters. Here K defines the number of pre-defined clusters that need to be created in the process, as if K=2, there will be two clusters, and for K=3, there will be three clusters, and so on.

Detailed explanation-5: -k-means is the most widely-used centroid-based clustering algorithm. Centroid-based algorithms are efficient but sensitive to initial conditions and outliers. This course focuses on k-means because it is an efficient, effective, and simple clustering algorithm. Figure 1: Example of centroid-based clustering.
