Which of the following is a reason why BFS is suitable for finding the shortest path in unweighted graphs?
- BFS guarantees finding the shortest path to a node the first time it is reached (correct)
- BFS uses a last-in, first-out (LIFO) queue
- BFS treats each move as a unit step
- BFS explores nodes closest to the target node first
What is the main advantage of BFS over other algorithms like Dijkstra's or A*?
