Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: 2.
At the basic level, data structures are classified into two main types:
Primitive data structures: basic data types directly supported by a programming language, such as integer, float, character, and boolean.
Non-primitive data structures: structures built using primitive types, such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs.
Linear and non-linear data structures are further subdivisions of non-primitive data structures, not separate top-level categories here.
