D. Uncertainty

Answer 1

Answer:

option D) uncertainty is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is (D) uncertainty. Probability provides a way of summarizing the uncertainty that comes from our laziness and ignorance.

Every task is associated with some uncertainty and first-order logic needs to be followed in such cases. However, even a first-order logic cannot always be successfully used in all domains.

For example, in the case of medical diagnosis, it fails mainly because of the three reasons: Theoretical and practical ignorance and also laziness. This is what 'probability' tries to resolve.
