Question

B is not the answer, it's either A,C,D,E

In which subtrie would the key CCC be inserted? C A E B D

Answer 1

The key CCC would be inserted in a subtrie next to node C in a binary search tree assuming alphabetical ordering is used.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking where in a binary tree structure the key CCC would be inserted, given the nodes labeled A, C, E, B, and D. Since option B is explicitly stated to be incorrect and the selection is between A, C, D, and E, the process involves comparing the key with the nodes according to a predetermined characteristic such as alphabetical order or some other comparison rule. If we were dealing with a standard binary search tree and assuming nodes are indeed arranged alphabetically, the key CCC would come after node B and before node D. So it would belong in a subtrie where the parent is C, leading to the conclusion that C is the node to which CCC would be inserted next to, making the answer C.
