The correct option is (a) The tree has n leaves.
To explain: In computer science, a 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. For a string of length n, the suffix tree has leaves equal to n.
