The merge sort algorithm presented in section 14.4, which sorts an array of integers in ascending order, uses the merge method which is partially shown below. Select the condition that would be needed to complete the method so that the elements are sorted in descending order. private static void merge(int[] first, int[] second, int[] A) {
Int iFirst = 0;
Int iSecond = 0;
Int j = 0;
While (iFirst < first.length && iSecond < second.length)
{
If (_____________________________)
{
A[j] = first[iFirst];
IFirst++;
}
Else
{
A[j] = second[iSecond];
ISecond++;
}
J++;
}
// rest of the method follows here
}
A) first[iFirst] < second[iSecond]
B) iFirst < iSecond
C) first[iFirst] > second[iSecond]
D) iFirst > iSecond
