To determine where entropy is zero, we need a dataset that is perfectly pure, meaning all instances belong to the same class and there is no uncertainty.
Option 1: A dataset with 7 positive and 3 negative instances. This dataset contains two classes and is not pure; there is uncertainty about the class of an arbitrary instance, so the entropy is greater than zero.
Option 2: A dataset with 5 positive and 5 negative instances. This is a perfectly balanced binary case, but it is not pure either; there is still uncertainty about which class an instance belongs to, so the entropy is maximal for a 50-50 split and not zero.
Option 3: A dataset with 6 positive and 4 negative instances. Although skewed, it still contains both classes, so there is residual uncertainty and the entropy is greater than zero.
Option 4: None of the other choices are correct. This would be chosen only if none of the prior options could yield entropy zero, but at least one option does describe a pure set, so this statement is not accurate for the question asked.
Option 5: A dataset with 10 positive instances. Here, every instance is positive; there is no uncertainty about the class label for any instance. In information-theoretic terms, the class distribution is degenerate, and the entropy is zero because there is no randomness left to quantify.
