Final answer:
The circular array Queue class is designed for constant time operations for enqueue and dequeue. However, a resizing operation, which is not a standard queue operation, would require linear time.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the circular array version of the Queue class, no operations should require linear time for their worst-case behavior if implemented correctly. Typically, the main operations of a queue, including enqueue (adding an element) and dequeue (removing an element), are designed to have constant time complexity, O(1), largely because these operations do not require shifting elements in the array; they only involve updating the head and tail indices of the queue.
However, if the queue requires resizing due to running out of capacity (in case it is not infinitely expandable), the resizing operation (which involves creating a new, larger array and copying all elements to it) will indeed require linear time, O(n), where n is the number of elements in the queue. This is not typically counted as part of the standard queue operation set but is a utility operation that supports the main queue operations.
