Answer #1

Answer :

b. a sorted array.

Explanation :

Using an Sorted Array

The findMax operation will be faster as compared to unsorted array as either the array is dorted in descending or in ascending order the time complexity will be O(1). Also if we use an array to store the values in the priority queue, we can either store the values in sorted order (which will make the insert operation slow, and the deleteMax operation fast), or in arbitrary order (which will make the insert operation fast, and the deleteMax operation slow). Note also that we'll need a field to keep track of the number of values
