Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The Gauss-Seidel method is an iterative technique used specifically to solve systems of linear algebraic equations. It works by decomposing the coefficient matrix and updating each variable sequentially using the most recently computed values. This method is particularly effective for large, sparse systems of linear equations where direct methods may be computationally expensive.
