Explanation
The ISTQB CT-AI syllabus lists several characteristics that make it difficult to ensure safety in AI- based systems. Section2.8 - Safety and AIexplicitly names the characteristics that complicate safety assurance:complexity,non-determinism,probabilistic behavior,self-learning,lack of transparency, andlack of robustness. Among these,complexityis a core challenge because modern AI systems--particularly those using deep learning--have highly non-linear behavior, large numbers of parameters, and intricate interactions that are hard to predict. Option B (Complexity) directly aligns with the syllabus and is therefore correct.
