Solution

The correct answer is c. Dijkstra's algorithm guarantees that it finds the shortest path from a single source to all other vertices in a graph with non-negative weights. This algorithm works by building up a set of nodes that have minimum distance from the source. It is efficient and used in various fields, including in network routing protocols.

Dijkstra's algorithm

Suppose you implemented Dijkstra's algorithm using a priority queue which supports each operations with the following worst-case performance, where n is the number of items in the priority queue:search: O(1)insert: O(loglog(n))delete: O(1)extractMin: O(loglog(n))decreaseKey: O(sqrt(n))isEmpty: O(1)You are given a connected, directed, weighted graph G with non-negative weights and a specified source.  G has n nodes and m edges.  What is the running time of Dijkstra's Algorithm on G using this new priority queue?  (There are no other changes made to Dijkstra's Algorithm.)
