Which statement is true about the global case rate and stopping conditions?

• A. Yes
• B. Stopping condition can prevent the global case rate from searching
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not sure

Answer: (B)

Stopping conditions are rules that tell an algorithm when to stop the search. If those rules kick in before the global search has thoroughly explored all possibilities, the global case rate may not be examined at all. So the statement is true: a stopping condition can prevent the global case rate from searching. In practice, choosing stopping criteria that are too strict or not aligned with the landscape can cause the algorithm to halt early and miss the true global optimum.
