Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which method of graph traversal makes use of a stack?
A
Depth-First
B
Breadth-First
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Example of Depth-First Search Algorithm. The outcome of a DFS traversal of a graph is a spanning tree. A spanning tree is a graph that is devoid of loops. To implement DFS traversal, you need to utilize a stack data structure with a maximum size equal to the total number of vertices in the graph.

Detailed explanation-2: -Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm traverses a graph in a depthward motion and uses a stack to remember to get the next vertex to start a search, when a dead end occurs in any iteration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inorder Traversal. Inorder Traversal is the one the most used variant of DFS(Depth First Search) Traversal of the tree.

Detailed explanation-4: -The depth-first search (DFS) algorithm starts with the initial node of graph G and goes deeper until we find the goal node or the node with no children. Because of the recursive nature, stack data structure can be used to implement the DFS algorithm. The process of implementing the DFS is similar to the BFS algorithm.
