Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -4 is the correct option. In Linear Search, every element in the list gets checked in each iteration of the loop that is traversing every element of the list.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to a simulation conducted by researchers, it is known that Binary search is commonly the fastest searching algorithm. A binary search is performed for the ordered list. This idea makes everything make sense that we can compare each element in a list systematically.
Detailed explanation-3: -The binary search algorithm works on the principle of divide and conquer and it is considered the best searching algorithm because it’s faster to run.
