Correct answer: D

Defuzzification: the process of converting a fuzzy set into a single crisp output value.

Answer: Mean of maximum, Centre of area, and Height method are all defuzzification methods.

  • Mean of maximum (M1): Takes the average of the input values at which the membership function attains its maximum value; useful when there are multiple maxima.

  • Centre of area (M2): Also called the centroid method or centre of gravity; computes the crisp output as the area-weighted average of the aggregated membership function over the output domain.

  • Height method (M3): Uses the heights (peak membership values) of individual output fuzzy sets to compute a weighted average of their representative values; often applied when each fuzzy set has a single representative point.
