Define for a context free language

L ≤ {0 ; 1} init (L) = {u/uv  ε L for some v in {0,1}}

(in other words, init (L) is the set of prefixes of L)

Let L {w/w is noempty and has an equal number of 0’s and 1’s)

Then init (L) is

A.

set of all binary strings with unequal number of 0’s and 1’s

B.

set of all binary strings including the null string

C.

set of all binary strings with exactly one more 0’s than the number of 1’s or 1 more  than the number of 0’s

D.

none of these
