Linked list is best defined as which of the following?
Difficulty: Easy
About this MCQ
This Easy Data Structures question asks: Linked list is best defined as which of the following? The correct choice is A. A data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next node in sequence.. Read the options below, commit to one, then use the explanation to see why that choice holds and why the others do not.
Data Structures 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 Data Structures 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 Data Structures 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. A data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next node in sequence. ✓
- B. A binary tree in which each node's left subtree contains smaller values and right subtree contains larger values.
Why not B: “A binary tree in which each node's left subtree contains smaller values and right subtree contains larger values.” is not A data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next node in sequence..
- C. A tree-based structure that satisfies the heap property, often used to implement priority queues.
Why not C: “A tree-based structure that satisfies the heap property, often used to implement priority queues.” is not A data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next node in sequence..
- D. A self-balancing binary search tree where the height difference between subtrees is at most one.
Why not D: “A self-balancing binary search tree where the height difference between subtrees is at most one.” is not A data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next node in sequence..
Correct answer
A. A data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next node in sequence.
Explanation
A data structure where elements are stored in nodes each pointing to the next node in sequence option A is the accepted answer to Linked list is best defined as which of the following Option B A binary tree in which each node's left subtree contains smaller values and right subtree contains larger values is a different value from A data structure where elements are stored in nodes each pointing to the next node in sequence Option C A tree-based structure that satisfies the heap property often used to implement priority queues is a different value from A data structure where elements are stored in nodes each pointing to the.
