Question 6
Worst case time complexity of heap sort for n elements
A
O(nlogn)
B
O(logn)
C
O(n2)

D
O(n)
Question 6 Explanation: 
Heap Sort has a time complexity of O(n log n) in the worst case because it builds a max-heap or min-heap (depending on whether it’s sorting in ascending or descending order) and performs n iterations (heapify) for n elements.
Each heapify operation takes O(log n) time in the worst case.
Correct Answer: A
