For the following function, what is the algorithm paradigm?

void algo(int idx, int[] num){

int min = Integer.MAX;
int pos = -1;
for(int x=idx;x if(num[x] < min){
min = num[x];
pos = x;
}

num[pos] = num[idx];
num[idx] = min;

if(idx < num.length) algo(idx+1, num);

}

a. Recursive
b. Divide and conquer
c. Greedy
d. Dynamic programming problem


a. Recursive
This function implements the insertion sort recursively. While it recursively divides the array one element at a time, it does not split the array and then recombine the sorted smaller arrays. So this function is recursive but not divide and conquer approach to algorithms.
