An articulation point in a connected graph is a vertex such that removing the vertex and its incident edges disconnects the graph into two or more connected components. 

Let T be a DFS tree obtained by doing DFS in a connected undirected graph G. Which of the following options is/are correct?

  1. A.

    Root of T can never be an articulation point in G.

  2. B.

    Root of T is an articulation point in G if and only if it has 2 or more children.

  3. C.

    A leaf of T can be an articulation point in G.

  4. D.

    If u is an articulation point in G such that x is an ancestor of u in T and y is a descendent of u in T, then all paths from x to y in G must pass through u.
