Question 2

+3 marksOne correct option

A circuit in a matroid is a minimal dependent set. In other words, a subset S of the universe U is a circuit if S is not an independent set, but every proper subset of S is an independent set. Which of the following would be a circuit for the graphic matroid?

  1. A

    A cycle on any number of vertices

  2. B

    A path on any number of vertices

  3. C

    A star with at least three leaves

  4. D

    A complete subgraph on 4 or more vertices
