Explanation:
L1 or Lasso Regression is the correct choice because it applies an absolute value of magnitude penalty, effectively driving the parameters (or coefficients) of the least useful features toward zero. In contrast, L2 or Ridge Regression uses a squared magnitude penalty that penalizes large parameters without necessarily driving them to zero. Dropout is a different form of regularization that randomly ignores subsets of features during training steps, and Backpropagation is an algorithm for error distribution in neural networks, not a regularization technique.
