The worst-case time complexity of quicksort is ___________.
- O(1)
- O(n log n)
- O(n)
- O(n^2)
Quicksort's worst-case time complexity is ?(?2)O(n2), occurring when the pivot selection consistently results in unbalanced partitions, leading to many recursive calls and inefficient sorting, especially for sorted or nearly sorted data.
