Which of the following algorithms is better to sort a mostly sorted data sequence? A data sequence is mostly sorted if only a handful of integers don't appear in the longest sorted subsequence. For example, the following data sequence is almost sorted since there is only one integer (0) out of place in a sorted sequence of numbers:  1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9   Question 28 options:   merge sort   selection sort   insertion sort   quick sort
