Difficulty: Easy
About this MCQ
This Easy Algorithms question asks: The concept in which a sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one element at a time by inserting each element into its correct position is best known as which of these terms? The correct choice is C. Insertion sort. Read the options below, commit to one, then use the explanation to see why that choice holds and why the others do not.
Algorithms items like this one are written for Pakistan exams such as CSS, FPSC, PPSC, and NTS. The difficulty label is a hint about how much of the topic the stem assumes, not a score. Tags and exam names, when they are present, tell you where else the same idea is tested. Previous and next links stay in Algorithms so you can continue the subject. Related questions point at nearby stems if you want another angle on the same idea.
Treat the explanation as part of the question, not a footnote. If you missed it, reread the stem against the correct option before you open the next Algorithms item. A timed quiz is the same pool with a clock and a score. A past paper is a full sitting rather than this single question.
- A. Bellman-Ford algorithm
Why not A: “Bellman-Ford algorithm” is not Insertion sort.
- B. Randomized algorithm
Why not B: “Randomized algorithm” is not Insertion sort.
- C. Insertion sort ✓
- D. Brute-force algorithm
Why not D: “Brute-force algorithm” is not Insertion sort.
Correct answer
C. Insertion sort
Explanation
Insertion sort (option C) is the accepted answer to “The concept in which a sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one element at a time by inserting each element into its correct position is best known as which of these terms”. Option A (Bellman-Ford algorithm) is a different value from Insertion sort. Option B (Randomized algorithm) is a different value from Insertion sort. Option D (Brute-force algorithm) is a different value from Insertion sort. Keep Insertion sort as the Algorithms fact for this stem.
