Which of the following applications can be solved using BFS?
Step 1: Understand what BFS (Breadth-First Search) is. It is an algorithm used to explore nodes and edges of a graph.
Step 2: Know that BFS starts at a selected node (called the 'source') and explores all its neighbors before moving on to the neighbors' neighbors.
Step 3: Recognize that a connected component in an undirected graph is a subset of the graph where there is a path between any two nodes in that subset.
Step 4: Realize that BFS can be used to explore all nodes in a connected component starting from any node in that component.
Step 5: Conclude that by using BFS, you can identify all nodes that are reachable from the starting node, thus finding all nodes in that connected component.
