CompTIA DataX (DY0-001) — Question 53

Which of the following layer sets includes the minimum three layers required to constitute an artificial neural network?

Answer options

• A. An input layer, a pooling layer, and an output layer
• B. An input layer, a convolutional layer, and a hidden layer
• C. An input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer
• D. An input layer, a dropout layer, and a hidden layer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because an artificial neural network requires at least one input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer to function properly. Options A, B, and D contain layers that are either not essential for the basic structure of a neural network or are not standard components required to establish a minimum configuration.
