Consider an undirected unweighted graph G. Let a breadth-first traversal of G be done starting from a node r. Let d(r, u) and d(r, v) be the lengths of the shortest paths from r to u and v respectively, in G. lf u is visited before v during the breadth-first traversal, which of the following statements is correct?
- A.
d(r, u) < d (r, v)
- B.
d(r, u) > d(r, v)
- C.
d(r, u) <= d (r, v)
- D.
None of the above

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
d(r, u) and d(r, v) will be equal when u and v are at same level, otherwise d(r, u) will be less than d(r, v)
