Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals — Question 36

You need to predict the sea level in meters for the next 10 years.
Which type of machine learning should you use?

Answer options

• A. classification
• B. regression
• C. clustering

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is regression, as it is specifically designed for predicting continuous values, such as sea level measurements. Classification is used for categorizing data into discrete classes, while clustering groups data into similar sets, neither of which is suitable for forecasting a continuous metric.
