Right answer is (d) Linear to Length of Tree
The best I can explain: Suffix tree is also known as PAT tree or position tree. It is a compressed search tree or prefix tree in which keys contain the suffix of text values as the text position. It allows fast string operation. Total time taken for construction of suffix tree is linear to the length of the tree.
