Dijkstra's algorithm fails for graphs with _______.
Show Hint
- Negative weights
- Disconnected components
- Directed edges
- Self-loops
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Dijkstra's algorithm is based on the assumption that all edge weights are non-negative. If a graph contains negative weights, Dijkstra’s algorithm may not work correctly because it doesn't handle situations where a path to a vertex becomes shorter after a vertex is already processed.
Hence, Dijkstra's algorithm fails in graphs with negative edge weights.
