Multiple choice — select the best answer

ATo introduce non-linearity into the network
BTo normalize input data
CTo prevent network parameters from changing
DTo reduce the computational complexity

✓ Correct answer: A. To introduce non-linearity into the network Activation functions introduce non-linearity into neural networks, allowing them to learn complex patterns. Without activation functions, neural networks would be limited to learning linear relationships regardless of depth.
