Discussion
The type of linked list in which the node does not contain any pointer or reference to the previous node is _____________
Answer: B
Correct answer: Singly linked list
A singly linked list gives each node one pointer, to the next node only. There is no way back, so traversal is forward from the head and a node cannot be deleted without a reference to its predecessor.
A doubly linked list adds a pointer to the previous node, which costs memory but allows backward traversal and deletion given only the node itself. The circular variants differ in whether the last node points back to the first, which is independent of how many pointers each node carries.
