Problem

How do you handle multi-collinearity in a linear regression model?

Explain how you would detect multicollinearity, distinguish its effects on coefficient interpretation from its effects on prediction, and choose among feature removal, feature transformation, dimensionality reduction, and regularization. Include how you would validate that the selected treatment improves the model without introducing data leakage.
