What is an array of LinkedList called in the context of hash tables?

Nodes
Buckets
Entries
Cells

The correct answer is: Buckets

A Nodes refer to the individual elements of a linked list. C: Entries could refer to the key-value pairs within a hash table, but not specifically to the linked list. D: Cells could describe a data structure used for storage, but not specifically in relation to hash tables. A better explanation would be that a bucket is a logical data structure that is used to store linked lists in the context of hash tables. Each bucket corresponds to a specific index in the hash table, and contains a linked list of key-value pairs that have been hashed to that index. This helps with efficient lookup and insertion of elements in the hash table.
