Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows:

Consider the machine from the previous question. If you were responsible for tuning this machine, what evaluation metric would you want to maximize to ensure all criminals (people about to commit a crime) are imprisoned (where crime is the positive label)?

A. Sensitivity

B. Specificity

C. Accuracy

D. Area under curve

Answer: A. Sensitivity

Step-by-step explanation:

The person is imprisoned the person can be considered criminal. To ensure the fact that all criminal people are about to commit the crime are imprisoned we have to maximize the sensitivity, thus the crime here can be considered as a positive label.

Hence, based on the above description, option A. Sensitivity is correct.
