Show answerHide answer

Correct answer: (A) To mark cells that should not be included in the simplification process

Don't-care cells are those whose output does not matter; they need not be covered and may be taken as 1 only when this gives larger groups. (Strictly, option B, an undefined output value, describes them more accurately.)
