A subgraph H of a graph G is called a clique if _______.
Show Hint
- \( V(G) = V(H) \)
- \( V(H) \subseteq V(G) \)
- \( H \) contains all edges of \( G \)
- \( H \) is also a complete graph
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
A clique in a graph is a subgraph where every pair of distinct vertices is adjacent to each other.
Therefore, a subgraph \( H \) of graph \( G \) is called a clique if \( H \) is a complete graph. In a complete graph, every vertex is connected to every other vertex. This is the defining characteristic of a clique.
Therefore, option (4) is correct.
