An operator delete(i) for a binary heap data structure is to be designed to delete the item in the i-th node. Assume that the heap is implemented in an array and i refers to the i-th index of the array. If the heap tree has depth d (number of edges on the path from the root to the farthest leaf), then what is the time complexity to re-fix the heap efficiently after the removal of the element?

(A)

O(1)

(B)

O(d) but not O(1)

(C)

O(2d) but not O(d)

(D)

O(d2d) but not O(2d)
