Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:

Binary Search Tree is printed in ascending order via inorder traversal.

Inorder traversal: You begin your traverse from the root, move to the left node, then back to the left node until you arrive at a leaf node. At that point, you print the node's value or mark it as visited before moving to the right subtree. The process should be repeated until every node in the binary tree has been visited.

In Python, the algorithm can be implemented as follows:
