Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Algorithms are step-by-step problem-solving procedures, while heuristics are more generalized strategies based on past experience. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Mental sets are different from algorithms and heuristics as they are fixed ways of problem-solving that may not be effective in certain situations. Therefore, option C and option D are incorrect.
