Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is Branching Factor?
A
Length of the shortest path from initial state to goal state.
B
The average number of child nodes in the problem space graph.
C
A property of an algorithm to always find an optimal solution.
D
None of the Above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Correct Answer : Option (C) : The average number of child nodes in the problem space graph. Explanation : Branching Factor : The average number of child nodes in the problem space graph.

Detailed explanation-2: -In AI, the branching factor of a tree is the number of children that each node has. A higher branching factor means that each node has more children, and thus the tree is more complex. A lower branching factor means that each node has fewer children, and thus the tree is simpler.

Detailed explanation-3: -The branching factor is the set of all possible actions at any state, which may be quite large. For the simple robot delivery domain, the branching factor is 3 for the initial situation and is up to 4 for other situations. When the domain becomes bigger, the branching factor increases and so the search space explodes.
