A binary tree with $$n>1$$ nodes has $${n_1}$$, $${n_2}$$ and $${n_3}$$ nodes of degree one, two and three respectively. The degree of a node is defined as the number of its neighbours.

Starting with the above tree, while there remains a node $$v$$ of degree two in the tree, add an edge between the two neighbours of $$v$$ and then remove $$v$$ from the tree. How many edges will remain at the end of the process?

A
$${2^ * }{n_1} - 3$$
B
$${n_2} + {2^ * }{n_1} - 2$$
C
$${n_3} - {n_2}$$
D
$${n_2} + {n_1} - 2$$
