Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The correct option is D. To find the most simplified Boolean expression using a Karnaugh map, we must prioritize grouping the largest possible number of adjacent 1s first. Since minimization scales in powers of two (2^n), we always look for Octets (groups of 8) first, followed by Quads (4), Pairs (2), and lastly Singles (1).
