The sorting is a type of
Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.
Explanation of Solution
Sorting:
When contents of the array being arranged in the particular order is called as sorting. The order of arranging the contents can be ascending or descending order.
Types of sorting:
- Bubble sort
- Selection sort
- Insertion sort
- Merge sort
- Quick sort
- Shell sort
- Heap sort
These sort have the possibility of sorting the array in both ascending and descending order.
Ascending order:
When the elements present in the array are sorted from the lowest to highest is called as ascending order.
Example:
Consider the elements of array that are present in the ascending order below:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10… 20
Descending order:
When the elements present in the array are sorted from the highest to lowest is called as descending order.
Example:
Consider the elements of array that are present in the descending order below:
55, 45, 40, 35, 30 … 10
Explanation for incorrect options:
Search Algorithm:
The “searching” algorithm the process of searching for a particular element that is present in the array.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
Ordering Algorithm:
The term “ordering algorithm” is not an valid algorithm.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.
Selection Algorithm:
The term “selection algorithm” finds the kth smallest number in a list or array.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

- Q1arrow_forward____ is a type of sorting algorithm that sorts an array by “floating” elements that are larger to the right, and elements that are “smaller” to the left (for ascending order) on each round of the sort.arrow_forwardPlease choose the answer and give the reasoning for it. The sequential search algorithm: 1. Requires the array to be ordered 2. Must always be implemented as a method 3. Uses a loop to step through an array, starting with the first element 4. Will not execute if the element is not in the arrayarrow_forward
