$$\Theta \left( {{n^2}} \right),\Theta \left( {{n^2}} \right),\,\,$$ and $$\,\,\Theta \left( {n\,\log n} \right)$$

$$\,\,\,{\rm I}V.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ Insertion sort runs in $$\Theta \left( n \right)$$ time

$${\rm I}$$ and $${\rm II}$$ only

$${\rm I}$$ and $${\rm III}$$ only

$${\rm II}$$ and $${\rm IV}$$ only

Which one of the following is the recurrence equation for the worst case time complexity of the Quicksort algorithm for sorting n ( $$ \ge 2$$ ) numbers? In the recurrence equations given in the options below, c is a constant.

T(n) = 2T(n/2) + cn

T(n) = T(n - 1) + T(1) + cn

T(n) = 2T(n - 1) + cn

T(n) = T(n/2) + cn
