What are category theory's functors and natural transformations?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) Functors are structure-preserving maps between categories; natural transformations are structure-preserving maps between functors — the framework for "abstract nonsense" in mathematics

B

Correct Answer

Functors are structure-preserving maps between categories; natural transformations are structure-preserving maps between functors — the framework for "abstract nonsense" in mathematics

Explanation

Category theory: objects + morphisms. Functor F:C→D maps objects to objects and morphisms to morphisms preserving composition. Natural transformation η:F⟹G maps components faithfully. Monads = functors with unit and multiplication.
