Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "sorting algorithm" specifically refers to an algorithm that arranges data in a specific order, making choice A the correct answer. A searching algorithm, on the other hand, looks for a particular item in a collection of data. The terms "ordering" and "linear" are not specific enough to refer to a particular type of algorithm. "Binary" refers to a specific type of searching algorithm that is used when the data is already sorted.
