Correct answer: D
Skala is a line clipping algorithm.
What line clipping does: it trims or removes parts of straight line segments that lie outside a defined clipping window (usually a rectangular viewport) and preserves the portion that lies inside.
Use cases: used in rendering and view transformation to ensure only visible line portions are drawn.
How it works (high level): computes intersections between line segments and clipping window boundaries and keeps the segment parts that fall inside.
Related algorithms: other line clipping methods include Cohen–Sutherland and Liang–Barsky; Skala is another approach for the same task.
