Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be Option 2 (Cluster analysis).
Explanation:
- The process of sorting a collection of items in such a manner that objects within the same category are much more identical than objects in many other clusters, known as Cluster analysis.
- The goal of this analysis would be to create similar groups of topics where "commonality" means a global metric across the entire set of characteristics between each pair of subjects.
The other options, Option 1 and Option 3 would not be able to create common motifs, such groups. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
