i. The described graph is a tree.
A tree is a graph that is connected and has no circuits. A graph is connected when there is a path between every pair of vertices.
In the graph described in this exercise, there is a path from any vertex to any other vertex, so the described graph is connected.
If the graph had a circuit, it would be possible to find more than one path between at least one pair of vertices. Since there is exactly one path from any vertex to any other vertex, the described graph has no circuits.
The described graph is connected and it has no circuits. Therefore, the described graph is a tree.
