Yes
- B
No
- C
Partially yes
- D
Not sure
Detailed Technical Solution & Explanation
Yes. The standard delta rule (Widrow-Hoff LMS rule) applies only to single-layer networks without hidden units. Backpropagation generalizes this rule to multi-layer networks via chain rule differentiation, and is formally termed the Generalized Delta Rule.

•
Option A (Yes): Correct. Mathematical and historical term for the multi-layer backpropagation algorithm.
•
Option B (No): Incorrect.
