Given Data

1. Input: 33, 17, 25, 9.
2. Step I: 9, 33, 17, 25.

Question

Which statement about Step I is correct?

Answer

The relative order of 33, 17, and 25 is unchanged.

Solution

1. The smallest item, 9, has moved to the first position.
2. The other items appear afterward as 33, 17, 25, the same order as in the input.
3. This shows a selection-style sorting step rather than a full reorder.
