What defines the depth of recursion?
A) the length of the algorithm
B) the number of function calls
C) the number of times the function calls itself
D) the number of times the function goes to the base case

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The depth of recursion is defined by the number of times the function calls itself, which is option C. The length of the algorithm or the number of function calls do not necessarily define the depth of recursion, and while the number of times the function goes to the base case is related to recursion, it does not fully define the depth of recursion.
