Assuming the hash table is initially empty, which of the following is the contents of the table when the sequence 1, 3, 8, 10 is inserted into the table using closed hashing? Note that ‘_’ denotes an empty location in the table.

Consider the following C program segment where CellNode represents a node in a binary tree:
struct CellNode 
{ 
     struct CellNOde *leftChild; 
     int element; 
     struct CellNode *rightChild; 
}; 

int GetValue(struct CellNode *ptr) 
{ 
     int value = 0; 
     if (ptr != NULL) 
     { 
       if ((ptr->leftChild == NULL) && 
        (ptr->rightChild == NULL)) 
       value = 1; 
       else 
         value = value + GetValue(ptr->leftChild) 
             + GetValue(ptr->rightChild); 
     } 
     return(value); 
} 
The value returned by GetValue() when a pointer to the root of a binary tree is passed as its argument is:
A
the number of nodes in the tree
B
the number of internal nodes in the tree
C
the number of leaf nodes in the tree
D
the height of the tree
