Show answer
Answer: C
Explanation
C: Exploratory data analysis Explanation: Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) involves examining and summarizing data to understand its underlying structure, detect patterns, identify relationships (e.g., via a correlation matrix), and highlight any anomalies. The company's activities, such as creating a correlation matrix, calculating statistics, and visualizing the data, are typical tasks performed during EDA. Why not the other options? A: Data pre-processing: Data pre-processing involves cleaning and preparing data for modeling, such as handling missing values, scaling features, or encoding categorical data. While pre-processing may follow EDA, the tasks described in the question focus on analysis rather than preparation.
