Final answer:

The sequence alternates between 0 and 1, ensuring that the number of zeroes is either equal to the number of ones or at most one more, thus it is not zero-heavy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks whether the sequence (0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ...) is zero-heavy. The term 'zero-heavy' indicates that there might be more zeroes than any other number in the sequence. This particular sequence however alternates between 0 and 1, which means the number of zeroes will always be equal to the number of ones if the sequence has an even number of terms, or one more if the sequence has an odd number of terms.

As such, the correct answer to whether the sequence is zero-heavy is: b) No.

The sequence (0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ...) is not zero-heavy. In a zero-heavy sequence, there are more zeros than non-zero elements. However, in this sequence, the number of zeros and ones is balanced. Therefore, the answer is b) No.
