About this MCQ
This Medium Discrete Mathematics MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “What term describes the following? a subgraph that includes all vertices of a graph connected with the minimum number of edges and no cycles.”
The accepted answer is D. Spanning tree. Spanning tree is the fact required by What term describes the following a subgraph that includes all vertices of a graph connected with the minimum number of edges and no cycles option D Option A Pigeonhole principle does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Spanning tree Option B Degree of a vertex does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Spanning tree Remaining alternatives Equivalence relation fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Spanning tree is identified Discrete Mathematics questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations Discrete Mathematics recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC.
