Which of the following sorting algorithms is based on the Divide and Conquer approach?

Options

  • A. Merge Sort
  • B. Bubble Sort
  • C. Insertion Sort
  • D. More than one of the above
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

A. Merge Sort

Detailed Explanation

Among the given choices, Merge Sort is based on the Divide and Conquer paradigm. It divides the input into smaller portions, recursively solves those portions, and combines their results. Bubble Sort and Insertion Sort do not follow the standard Divide and Conquer strategy. Other well-known Divide and Conquer algorithms include Quick Sort and Binary Search. Recognizing the underlying design paradigm is an important Data Structures and Algorithms concept.
