If a cycle is formed during the construction of the spanning tree, what should be done?
If a cycle is formed during the construction of the spanning tree, what should be done?
- Add more edges to the cycle to strengthen it.
- Remove the edge with the highest weight from the cycle. (correct)
- Keep the cycle as it is necessary for connectivity.
- Ignore it and continue without any changes.

Study Notes
Spanning Tree Algorithm Analysis
- A network diagram is presented, showing numbered boxes (bridges) and lettered clouds (network segments).
- The numbered boxes represent bridge IDs.
- The lettered clouds represent network segments.
- The diagram shows connections between bridges with associated costs (e.g., 24, 92, 12, 4, 5, 7).
