(i) A larger hypothesis space always gives better generalization (ii) Hypothesis space is unrelated to inductive bias (iii) A smaller hypothesis space always gives lower training error (iv) A larger hypothesis space can increase the risk of overfitting

Answer: (iv) A larger hypothesis space can increase the risk of overfitting

A larger hypothesis space can represent more patterns, lowering training error, but may also fit noise. Generalization depends on data, regularization, model capacity and inductive bias; larger is not automatically better.
