Which statement about hashing is false?
A) Hashing facilitates high-speed storing and retrieval of data.
B) Two different data items can hash to the same cell; this is called a collision.
C) A load factor of 0.5 usually results in good hashing performance, but less efficient utilization of memory.
D) A load factor of 1.0 usually results in good hashing performance, but less efficient utilization of memory.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A load factor of 1.0 would result in a completely filled hash table, which would lead to collisions and decreased hashing performance. A load factor of around 0.5 is typically considered optimal, balancing efficient memory utilization with good performance.
