(a) O (log M)
(b) O (M!)
(c) O (M)

Correct option is (c) O (M)
The best I can explain: In order to store the maximum number of elements in Van Emde Boas data structure where M is the maximum number of elements, the tree has great efficiency for storing them. So the time complexity for worst case is found to be O (M).
