Imagine you are developing a social network platform where you need to find the shortest path between two users in a friendship graph. Would DFS be appropriate for this scenario? Justify your answer.

No, DFS would not be appropriate for finding the shortest path in a friendship graph. DFS is not designed for finding the shortest path, as it explores paths deeply, not necessarily the shortest ones. Instead, algorithms like Dijkstra's or BFS are more suitable for this task.
