In Hierarchical Clustering, the _________ linkage method considers the distance between the closest points of two clusters.
- Average Linkage

Single Linkage considers the minimum distance between the closest points of two clusters. This can lead to chain-like clusters and is sensitive to noise and outliers. It's useful when we want to identify clusters with irregular shapes.
