TopicGraph Theory Fundamentals
TypeSubgraph identification
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This is a straightforward definition-checking question requiring students to identify which diagram satisfies the properties of a simple-connected subgraph. It tests basic recall of graph theory terminology (simple, connected, subgraph) with minimal problem-solving—students systematically eliminate options by checking for multiple edges, loops, disconnection, or edges not in the original graph.
