About this MCQ

This Medium Algorithms MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The question is: “Topological sort is best defined as which of the following?”

The accepted answer is C. An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge, the source vertex comes before the destination vertex.. Topological sort is best defined as which of the following is answered by An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge the source vertex comes before the destination vertex option C Option A A sorting algorithm that repeatedly selects the smallest remaining element and moves it to its correct position does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge the source vertex comes before the destination vertex Option B A sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one element at a time by inserting each element into its correct position does not match.

A. A sorting algorithm that repeatedly selects the smallest remaining element and moves it to its correct position.
Why not A: “A sorting algorithm that repeatedly selects the smallest remaining element and moves it to its correct position.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge, the source vertex comes before the destination vertex.. Topological sort is best defined as which of the following is answered by An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge the source vertex comes befor
B. A sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one element at a time by inserting each element into its correct position.
Why not B: “A sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one element at a time by inserting each element into its correct position.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge, the source vertex comes before the destination vertex.. Topological sort is best defined as which of the following is answered by An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge the source vertex comes befor
C. An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge, the source vertex comes before the destination vertex. ✓
D. A comparison-based sorting algorithm that uses a binary heap data structure to sort elements.
Why not D: “A comparison-based sorting algorithm that uses a binary heap data structure to sort elements.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge, the source vertex comes before the destination vertex..

Correct answer

C. An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge, the source vertex comes before the destination vertex.

Explanation

Topological sort is best defined as which of the following is answered by An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge the source vertex comes before the destination vertex option C Option A A sorting algorithm that repeatedly selects the smallest remaining element and moves it to its correct position does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of An ordering of vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every edge the source vertex comes before the destination vertex Option B A sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one element at a time by inserting each element into its correct position does not match.
