B
You begin the sort.
C
You complete one “round” of the sort
D
The sorting algorithm is over.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In algorithm, every iteration through each element of a list is called a pass. For a list with n elements, the bubble sort makes a total of n – 1 passes to sort the list. In each pass, the required pairs of adjacent elements of the list will be compared.

Detailed explanation-2: -A bubble sort algorithm goes through a list of data a number of times, comparing two items that are side by side to see which is out of order. It will keep going through the list of data until all the data is sorted into order. Each time the algorithm goes through the list it is called a ‘pass’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Note: Bubble sort with n element required n-1 passes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pass 1: In the first pass-through of the selection sort, we evaluate if there is a smaller number in the array than what is currently present in index 0. This act is essentially finding the smallest number in the array and it will eventually place it in the very first index of the array.
