Which of the following is NOT a step in the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) process?

  1. Data Cleaning

  2. Data Transformation

  3. Data Mining

  4. Data Visualization


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data Visualization is not a step in the KDD process, but rather a technique used to present the results of data mining.

What is the primary goal of Data Mining?

  1. To extract hidden patterns and relationships from data

  2. To predict future trends

  3. To optimize business processes

  4. To improve customer satisfaction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary goal of Data Mining is to uncover hidden patterns and relationships in data that can be used to make informed decisions.
