3Question 3.
What does Kruskal's Algorithm build?

Show hintHide hint
How are the edges prioritized?
Question 5.
Design a graph with at least 6 vertices and 9 edges, and demonstrate how Kruskal’s Algorithm finds the minimum spanning tree. List all steps taken during the process.
Show hintHide hint
Which edges would you initially consider?
Question 6.
