The correct answer is: B. Stemming
Stemming is the process of reducing inflected words to their root form. For example, the words “walked”, “walking”, and “walk” would all be stemmed to the root “walk”. Stemming is often used in natural language processing tasks such as text analysis and machine translation.
Rooting is the process of finding the root of a word, which is the most basic form of the word. For example, the roots of the words “walked”, “walking”, and “walk” are all “walk”. However, rooting is not always the same as stemming. For example, the words “man”, “men”, and “woman” all have the same root, “man”, but they would not be stemmed to the same root.
Text-proofing is the process
of checking a text for errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. It is not related to stemming or rooting.
