An organization is training a machine learning model to predict extreme weather events in their country. How should they collect data to maximize prediction accuracy?
The correct answer is A. Collect all weather data evenly across all cities. Collecting ALL weather data (not just extreme events) EVENLY across ALL cities prevents training bias. A model needs to understand normal weather patterns as a baseline in order to correctly identify deviations that signal extreme events. Focusing only on at-risk cities or only o

Explanation
Collecting ALL weather data (not just extreme events) EVENLY across ALL cities prevents training bias. A model needs to understand normal weather patterns as a baseline in order to correctly identify deviations that signal extreme events. Focusing only on at-risk cities or only on extreme weather data would produce a biased, incomplete dataset, causing the model to fail to generalize and make accurate predictions across the entire country.
