Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

A matrix is called a Sparse Matrix if the number of zero elements is greater than half of the total elements in the matrix. Total number of elements in a matrix with m rows and n columns is m × n. Therefore, the matrix is sparse if the total number of zero elements > (m × n) / 2.
