About this MCQ
This Hard Theory of Computation (Automata) MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “DFA minimization is best defined as which of the following?”
The accepted answer is C. The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while preserving its language.. DFA minimization is best defined as which of the following is answered by The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while preserving its language option C Option A An operation on a set of symbols or strings that produces the set of all possible concatenations including the empty string does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while preserving its language Option B The sequence of production rule applications used to generate a string from a grammar's start symbol does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to.
- A. An operation on a set of symbols or strings that produces the set of all possible concatenations, including the empty string.
Why not A: “An operation on a set of symbols or strings that produces the set of all possible concatenations, including the empty string.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while preserving its language.. DFA minimization is best defined as which of the following is answered by The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while p
- B. The sequence of production rule applications used to generate a string from a grammar's start symbol.
Why not B: “The sequence of production rule applications used to generate a string from a grammar's start symbol.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while preserving its language..

- C. The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while preserving its language. ✓
- D. A transition in a non-deterministic automaton that occurs without consuming any input symbol.
Why not D: “A transition in a non-deterministic automaton that occurs without consuming any input symbol.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while preserving its language..

Correct answer
C. The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while preserving its language.
Explanation
