Hence, the correct answer is option “A”.
Explanation of Solution
Sequential search:
- Linear search or sequential search is the process of searching the particular element in the array one by one until it founds out the searching element.
- Here, it uses the loop iteration to start from the beginning of the array to the last element until it finds out the searching element.
- This searching process continues until the end of the last element until the searching element found from the array.
- If the searching element is not present in the array, then the search process returns the message according to unsuccessful search.
Explanation for incorrect options:
b. Binary search
This is the process that uses divide and conquer strategy to find the specific element of an array. The searching process starts from middle element of the array. If the searching element is less than the middle element then it eliminates the second half of the array and it continues searching with the first half of the array.
Hence, option “B” is wrong.
c. Natural order search
Searching the value from the naturally ordered sequence is referred as natural order search. So, this directly finds out the element without comparing all the elements from the array.
Hence, option “C” is wrong.
d. Selection search
This is the algorithm which initially sorts the array by finding the minimum element from unsorted array and it is placed at the beginning. From this sorted array, the search process is continued to search the element. So, this directly finds out the element without comparing all the elements from the array.
Hence, option “D” is wrong.

O True O Falsearrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE You should not pass a one-dimensional array to a function. Passing an array by reference is more efficient than passing it by value. The quick sort algorithm provides a quick and easy way to sort the items stored in an array, as long as the number of items is relatively small—for example, fewer than 50. The variables in an array may be stored in non-consecutive memory locations in the computer’s internal memory. It takes longer for the computer to access the information stored in a disk file, than in an array in memory.arrow_forward
