Solution

The answer is c) Cross edges.

Cross edges in a graph are those edges that connect a vertex to another vertex that is neither its ancestor nor its descendant. In other words, in a Depth-First Search (DFS) of a graph, a cross edge is an edge that is not part of the DFS tree. They can go between siblings (vertices with the same parent), between unconnected parts of the graph, or from a vertex to its uncle (the sibling of its parent).

A graph having an edge from each vertex to every other vertex is called a ___________

The result of a depth-first search of a graph can be conveniently described in terms of a spanning tree of the vertices reached during the search. Based on this spanning tree, the edges of the original graph can be divided into three classes: forward edges, which point from a node of the tree to one of its descendants, back edges, which point from a node to one of its ancestors, and cross edges, which do neither. Sometimes tree edges, edges which belong to the spanning tree itself, are classified separately from forward edges. If the original graph is undirected then all of its edges are tree edges or back edges.
