A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The map() function returns a new array through passing a function over each element in the input array. This is different to reduce() which takes an array and a function in the same way, but the function takes 2 inputs-an accumulator and a current value.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Map function takes input from the disk as <key, value> pairs, processes them, and produces another set of intermediate <key, value> pairs as output. The Reduce function also takes inputs as <key, value> pairs, and produces <key, value> pairs as output.
