The characters a to h have the set of frequencies based on the first 8 Fibonacci numbers as follows
a : 1, b : 1, c : 2, d : 3, e : 5, f : 8, g : 13, h : 21/
A Huffman code is used to represent the characters. What is the sequence of characters corresponding to the following code? 110111100111010

Correct answer: A
Solution summary: decode the bit string using the Huffman codes formed from the given frequencies.
Step 1 — Build Huffman codes:
h: 0
g: 10
f: 110
e: 1110
d: 11110
c: 111110
a: 1111110
b: 1111111
Step 2 — Decode the bit string 110111100111010 by matching prefixes (left to right):
110 → f
11110 → d
0 → h
1110 → e
10 → g
Final decoded sequence: fdheg
