None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -If the data set is large in binary search, then the computational cost would be less compared to a linear search, and speed becomes fast. Linear search can be used on both single and multidimensional array, whereas the binary search can be implemented only on the one-dimensional array.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the main advantages of a binary search is that it is much quicker than a serial search because the data that needs to be searched halves with each step. For example, it is possible to search through 1024 values and find the one you want within 10 steps, every time.
Detailed explanation-3: -A binary search is faster on large lists, but a sequential search is faster on small lists. The level of the root node of a binary tree is 1. The sequential search algorithm searches the list for a given item, starting with the rst element in the list.
Detailed explanation-4: -Binary search is faster than linear search except for small arrays. However, the array must be sorted first to be able to apply binary search. There are specialized data structures designed for fast searching, such as hash tables, that can be searched more efficiently than binary search.
