Your answer is correct.

Question 2
Which of the following is true?
Complete
Not graded Select one:
LDA is better suited than PCA for separating classes in a lower-dimensional space.
The last principal component accounts for as much of the skew in the data as possible.

The goal of dimensionality reduction is to have highly interpretable lower-dimensions. 

PCA is better suited than t-SNE for separating classes in a lower-dimensional space.
