Q184. The Set of actions for a problem in a state space is formulated by a ___________

  • a) Intermediate states
  • b) Initial state
  • c) Successor function, which takes current action and returns next immediate state
  • d) None of the mentioned

✅ Correct Answer: C) Successor function, which takes current action and returns next immediate state
