About this MCQ
This Easy Data Structures MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Linked list is best defined as which of the following?”
The accepted answer is A. A data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next node in sequence.. Linked list refers to a data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next node in sequence.
- 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 correct. The accepted answer is A. A data structure where elements are stored in nodes, each pointing to the next node in sequence.. Linked list refers to 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.
