Correct answer: A
After the first pass, the largest element (85) has been swapped repeatedly until it reached the final index. Here is the trace:
(32, 51) → No swap.
(51, 27) → Swap: 32, 27, 51, 85...
(51, 85) → No swap.
(85, 66) → Swap: 32, 27, 51, 66, 85, 23...
(85, 23) → Swap: 32, 27, 51, 66, 23, 85, 13...
(85, 13) → Swap: 32, 27, 51, 66, 23, 13, 85, 57...
(85, 57) → Swap: 32, 27, 51, 66, 23, 13, 57, 85.
