A
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Answer: Making the locally optimal choice at each step to obtain a globally optimal solution
Explanation: The Huffman coding algorithm is a greedy algorithm that constructs a variable-length prefix code for a set of characters based on their frequencies, with the goal of minimizing the average code length.
