5. When using Big-O notation to describe the running time of an algorithm, what is the key idea behind lignoring everything except the element that makes the biggest difference to the running time? (A) It simplifies calculations by removing constants. (B) It focuses on the average-case performance of the algorithm. (C) For very large inputs, the contribution of less significant components becomes negligible. (D) It helps determine the exact running time for small inputs.

10.In a multi-user database environment, complex interactions between simultaneous transactions can lead to undesirable outcomes such as "lost updates" (where one transaction's changes are overwitten by another), "dirty reads" (where a transaction reads uncommitted data from another transaction), and "inconsistent reads" (where a transaction reads different values for the same data item at different points in time). Which core aspect of database management, typically managed within the database architecture, is primarily responsible for addressing and preventing these types of anomalies? (A) Indexing, which optimizes data retrieval by creating sorted pointers to data records, thereby speeding up query execution and reducing the likelihood of data conflicts. (B) Relational Algebra, which provides a theoretical foundation for querying and manipulating data in relational databases, enabling structured data operations. (C) Concurrency Control, which employs various mechanisms to manage the interleaved execution of transactions, ensuring data integrity and transaction isolation. (D) B-trees, a tree data structure used for efficient storage and retrieval of data on disk, enabling fast lookup, insertion, and deletion operations within a database.
