Answer

The error-correcting code was designed for errors that can be not only detected but also corrected. Here, the table below shows the simple code for the symbols: using the table in the image below This code works by the Hamming distance. The Hamming distance between two-bit patterns is the number of bits in which the patterns differ. The least hamming distance would be the closest match for the bit pattern. therefore the solution will be: a. BED b. CAB c. HEAD
