Question
A binary search tree is a binary tree where:Group of answer choicesThe left subtree contains values less than the root, and the right subtree contains values greater than the root.It is always a complete binary tree.The data in the tree is stored in a specific order.Both b and d.
Solution
The correct answer is: The left subtree contains values less than the root, and the right subtree contains values greater than the root.
Here's why:
A binary search tree (BST) is a type of binary tree where the nodes are arranged in a specific way. For every node:
- The values in the left subtree are less than the value of the node.
- The values in the right subtree are greater than the value of the node.
This property must be true for all nodes in the tree, not just the root.
It's not always a complete binary tree. A complete binary tree is a special type of binary tree where every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled, and all nodes are as far left as possible. While a BST can be a complete binary tree, it's not a requirement.
The data in a BST is indeed stored in a specific order (as explained above), but this is not a separate property from the first one, so saying "both b and d" is incorrect.
