Genetic & non deterministic environment -AI

Question 1 UGC NET June-2020
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A genetic algorithm is a stochastic hill climbing search in which a large population of states is maintained.
Statement II: In a nondeterministic environment, agents can apply AND-OR search to generate containing plans that reach the goal regardless of which outcomes occur during execution.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answers from the options given below

A – Both Statement I and Statement II are true

B – Both Statement I and Statement II are false

C – Statement I is correct but Statement II is false

D – Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true

Answer – A
Explanation:
genetic algorithm
In a genetic algorithm, a population of candidate solutions (called individuals, creatures, or phenotypes) to an optimization problem is evolved toward better solutions. Each candidate solution has a set of properties (its chromosomes or genotype) which can be mutated and altered; traditionally, solutions are represented in binary as strings of 0s and 1s, but other encodings are also possible. A genetic algorithm is a stochastic hill climbing search in which a large population of states is maintained.
