What controls the acceptance probability in simulated annealing?
Answer: B
The probability follows an exponential in the ratio of the value decrease to the temperature, so small decreases are accepted readily and large ones rarely, and both become less likely as the temperature falls. That is exactly the Boltzmann factor from statistical mechanics. Neighbour counts, distance and iteration counts are not part of the rule. A rule borrowed intact from physics, and behaving in the intended way, is the reason the analogy is more than decorative.
