Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) A problem in NP to which every NP problem can be reduced in polynomial time (NP-hard + in NP)

B

Correct Answer

A problem in NP to which every NP problem can be reduced in polynomial time (NP-hard + in NP)

Explanation

NP-complete problems are the hardest in NP. If any NP-complete problem is in P, then P = NP. Examples: SAT, 3-SAT, Vertex Cover, Hamiltonian Path.
