Solution

The problem that should be solved using dynamic programming from the given options is the Longest Common Subsequence problem.

Here's why:

  1. Mergesort and Quicksort are sorting algorithms, they are not typically solved using dynamic programming. They have their own specific algorithms to solve them.

  2. Binary search is a search algorithm, which is used to find the position of a specific value within a sorted array. It also does not require dynamic programming.

  3. The Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem, however, is a classic computer science problem that can be solved using dynamic programming. The LCS problem is to find the longest subsequence common to all sequences in a set of sequences (often just two sequences). It differs from problems of finding common substrings: unlike substrings, subsequences are not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences. Dynamic programming is a method for solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems. It is applicable to problems exhibiting the properties of overlapping subproblems and optimal substructure.
