Question
A binary search tree is a binary tree where:Group of answer choicesIt is always a complete binary tree.Both b and d.The data in the tree is stored in a specific order.The left subtree contains values less than the root, and the right subtree contains values greater than the root.
Solution
The correct answer is: "The left subtree contains values less than the root, and the right subtree contains values greater than the root."
This is because a binary search tree (BST) is a node-based binary tree data structure which has the following properties:
- The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys lesser than the node’s key.
- The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than the node’s key.
- The left and right subtree each must also be a binary search tree.
So, it's not necessary for a BST to be a complete binary tree, and the data in the tree is stored in a specific order, but that order is determined by the rules of BSTs, not an arbitrary order.
