Consider the swap method shown below from the SelectionSorter class. If we modified it as shown in the swap2 method shown below, what would be the effect on the sort method?
Private static void swap(int[] a, int i, int j)
{
Int temp = a[i];
A[i] = a[j];
A[j] = temp;
}
Private static void swap2(int[] a, int i, int j)
{
A[i] = a[j];
A[j] = a[i];
}
A) There would be no effect.
B) Some array elements would be overwritten.
C) It would sort the array in reverse order.
D) It would still be correct, but run a little faster.

The swap2 method is swapping the values of a[i] and a[j] in the opposite order from the original swap method. This means that when the sort method is called, some array elements would be overwritten with incorrect values, leading to an incorrect sorting outcome.
