Answer

  • C In the ML context, ML regression means predicting continuous values; in other syllabi, it means change-related defects

Explanation

The word regression has two meanings. In ML, a regression predicts a numerical value, such as a price. In software testing, regression means that a change breaks something that worked before. Anyone working in both worlds should not mix up the terms.
