Linked list data structure offers considerable saving in ____
A
Computational Time
B
Space Utilization
C
Space Utilization and Computational Time
D
Speed Utilization
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Linked list consists of nodes where each node contains one or more data fields and a reference(link) to the next node. Explanation: Linked lists saves both space and time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Linked lists hold two main pieces of information (the value and pointer) per node. This means that the amount of data stored increases linearly with the number of nodes in the list. Therefore, the space complexity of the linked list is linear: Space-O(n) .

Detailed explanation-3: -Better use of Memory: From a memory allocation point of view, linked lists are more efficient than arrays.

Detailed explanation-4: -Arrays, Linked List, Stack, and Queue are the different types of linear data structures. Array elements store in a contiguous memory location but Linked list elements can be stored anywhere in the memory.
