Which of these algorithms searches for something by first looking in the middle of a list?
A
Bubble sort
B
Merge sort
C
Linear search
D
Binary search
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Binary search works on sorted arrays. Binary search begins by comparing an element in the middle of the array with the target value.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary Search If the list of items to be found are in order, then we could start by checking the item right in the middle of the list.

Detailed explanation-3: -The binary search starts the process by comparing the middle element of a sorted dataset with the target value for a match. If the middle element is equal to the target value, then the algorithm is complete.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Binary Search Approach Binary searches are efficient algorithms based on the concept of “divide and conquer” that improves the search by recursively dividing the array in half until you either find the element or the list gets narrowed down to one piece that doesn’t match the needed element.
