D) 0111110

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Venn diagram method for coding messages involves overlapping circles where each circle represents a bit position in the code word. The message bits are placed in the intersections that represent their positions. The non-intersecting parts of the circles and the outside area are filled with parity bits to ensure that each circle (and the entire diagram) contains an even number of 1s. For the message 0111, the correct code word must maintain even parity in all sections. Option B, 0111001, achieves this by having the message bits 0111 correctly placed and parity bits calculated to ensure even parity in all sections.
