About this MCQ
This Medium Data Structures question asks: Which concept is defined as follows: a way of representing a graph where each vertex stores a list of its neighboring vertices? The correct choice is D. Adjacency list. 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. Skip list
Why not A: “Skip list” does not fit this question. The answer is Adjacency list.
- B. Linear probing
Why not B: “Linear probing” does not fit this question. The answer is Adjacency list.
