What is the purpose of chunking in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)?

The correct answer is C. To improve the contextual relevancy of results retrieved from the vector index. By splitting large documents into smaller, semantically coherent chunks, the retrieval system can match and return only the most context-relevant segments for a given query, enhancing the precision and accuracy of the generated responses.
