The CORRECT choice is (a) 1,3,4,5,7,8,9,10

Easy explanation - Building a min-heap the RESULT will a sorted array so the 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 is correct. If we change the implementation strategy 1, 4, 3, 8, 9, 5, 7, 10 is also correct. (First filling the right child RATHER than left child first).
