If a line-sweep algorithm computes the convex hull of points representing server locations and encounters an event point, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

When a line-sweep algorithm encounters an event point, it signifies a potential change in the convex hull's boundary; because the algorithm is structured to update the hull at these points, a new vertex gets processed. Therefore, the hull is updated, rather than the alternatives, which refer to unrelated server behaviors.
