Answer
The edges AB, CD, EF, BF, and CF make a spanning tree.
The edges AB, CD, EF, BF, and BC make a spanning tree.
The edges AB, CD, EF, BC, and CF make a spanning tree.
Work Step by Step
A spanning tree includes all the vertices in the original graph, is connected, and does not have any circuits. If the original graph has $n$ vertices, then the spanning tree has $n$ vertices and $n-1$ edges.
In this exercise, the original graph has 6 vertices so a spanning tree must have 6 vertices and 5 edges. Clearly, the edges AB, CD, and EF must be included in the spanning tree, otherwise the spanning tree will not be connected. We then need to include 2 of the remaining edges to complete the spanning tree.
The edges AB, CD, EF, BF, and CF make a spanning tree.
The edges AB, CD, EF, BF, and BC make a spanning tree.
The edges AB, CD, EF, BC, and CF make a spanning tree.
There are three spanning trees for the given graph in this exercise.
