Question
Can someone please explain it to me ASAP?!!! This is dijkstra’s shortest path

Transcribed Image Text:### Dijkstra's Shortest Path Algorithm
**Level 1**
**Instructions:**
Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm is run on the graph, starting at vertex E.
**Graph Explanation:**
- The graph consists of 5 vertices labeled A, B, C, D, and E.
- The edges between the vertices have weights:
- E to A: Weight 6
- E to D: Weight 9
- A to B: Weight 8
- A to D: Weight 9
- B to C: Weight 5
- C to D: Weight 6
- B to A: Weight 2 (This creates a bidirectional connection between A and B with weights 8 in one direction and 2 in the other.)
**Question:**
Upon completion, what is each vertex's predecessor?
**Answer Choices:**
For each vertex listed below, select its predecessor:
- **A:**
- Pick
- **B:**
- Pick
- **C:**
- Pick
- **D:**
- Pick
- **E:**
- Pick
This exercise is about understanding how Dijkstra's algorithm works and predicting the shortest path from vertex E to all other vertices. Please select the correct predecessor for each vertex after running the algorithm.
