(b) It is the transmission of error back through the network to adjust the inputs

(c) It is the transmission of error back through the network to allow weights to be adjusted so that the network can learn

(d) None of the mentioned

This question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Neural Networks in division Learning of Artificial Intelligence

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) It is the transmission of error back through the network to allow weights to be adjusted so that the network can learn

For explanation I would say: Back propagation is the transmission of error back through the network to allow weights to be adjusted so that the network can learn.
