Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Figure (i) shows two classes, circles and squares, that can be separated by a straight line. A vertical line at x=1.5 cleanly separates the circles (at x=1) from the squares (at x=2 and 3), making it linearly separable. Figures (ii), (iii), and (iv) all have mixed classes that cannot be separated by a single straight line. For example, in (ii), squares and circles are intermingled at x=2. Therefore, only option A is correct.
