Question 2 Single choice

A company created a very popular collectible card set. Collectors attempt to collect the entire set, but the availability of each card varies, because some cards have higher production volumes than others. The set contains a total of 12 cards. The attributes of the cards are shown.

The data scientist is tasked with designing an initial model iteration to predict whether the animal on the card lives in the sea or on land, given the card's features: Wrapper color, Wrapper shape, and Animal.
