The advantage of using the open addressing technique over the separate chaining technique for handling collisions in a hash table is that open addressing ____.
A)allows for faster addition of elements
B)allows for faster retrieval of elements
C)is simpler in implementation
D)requires less memory storage for the hash table

Question
