Explanation / Answer

Linear search

It is a way of searching the elements sequentially one after the another till target element is found. In this technique it is not mandatory that the elements need to be in sorted order.

In Linear search when searching for key in the array is present in the first position then the number of comparisons will be 1 (best case) so option A is correct answer
