Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the traveling salesman problem is:

• The traveling salesman problem finds the shortest path that visits each point exactly once and returns to the starting point.

However, from the options you provided, it seems you are looking for the best fitting statement, which could be interpreted as a classic algorithm related to the problem. Therefore, the most accurate statement based on your options might be:

• The traveling salesman algorithm is a classic algorithm.

The other statements regarding time complexity, space complexity, and finding the shortest path between two points do not accurately encapsulate the primary characteristic of the traveling salesman problem.
