Solution
The correct answer is C. When a node with more than one child is removed from a Binary Search Tree (BST), we generally promote the in-order predecessor or in-order successor of the node. The in-order predecessor is the maximum node in the left subtree, and the in-order successor is the minimum node in the right subtree. So, we travel to the left subtree and choose the biggest node or travel to the right subtree and choose the smallest node.
