Which of the following is the naive assumption in Bayes' rule?

→ In the context of Naive Bayes classifiers, the "naive" assumption refers to the conditional independence of features given the class label. That is, the model assumes each feature contributes independently to the probability of the output class, which simplifies the computation of probabilities.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A: Normal distribution is often assumed for continuous variables, but it's not the naive assumption in Bayes' rule.

C: Uniform distribution refers to equal probability across outcomes, not used here.

D: Homoskedasticity is related to constant variance in regression, not Bayesian classification.
