As a data scientist, you are working on a global health dataset that has data...

Detailed Answer in Step-by-Step Solution:

Objective: Encode categorical features in a Data Science context (likely ADS SDK).

Understand Encoding: Converts categories (e.g., countries) to numerical forms.

Evaluate Options:

A: Not a standard ADS method—incorrect.

B: General transformation, not specific encoding—incorrect.

C: OneHotEncoder—Standard for categorical encoding—correct.

D: Visualization, not encoding—incorrect.

Reasoning: One-hot encoding creates binary columns—ideal for multiple categories.

Conclusion: C is correct.

OCI documentation states: “In ADS SDK, use OneHotEncoder (C) from sklearn (or similar) to encode categorical features like ‘countries’ into binary vectors for modeling.” A isn’t real, B is too broad, D is unrelated—only C fits OCI’s encoding practice.
