Question 5 Explanation:
Definition of clique is already given in question.
Definition: A clique in a simple undirected graph is a complete subgraph that is not contained in any larger complete subgraph.
Step-1: b,c,e,f is complete graph.

Step-2: ‘a’ is not connected to ‘e’ and ‘b’ is not connected to ‘d’. So, it is not complete graph.
