Which statement is false? A. Insertions and deletions are made only at one end of a queue, its tail. B. Linked lists are collections of data items "lined up in a row"-- insertions and deletions can be made anywhere in a linked list. C. Binary trees facilitate high-speed searching and sorting of data. D. Insertions and deletions are made only at one end of a stack, its top.

The false statement is:
C. Binary trees facilitate high-speed searching and sorting of data.
While binary trees are indeed data structures that facilitate searching, they are not inherently designed for sorting data. Binary search trees (BSTs) specifically support efficient searching operations, but sorting in a binary tree involves traversing the tree in-order, which may not be as efficient as using other sorting algorithms for arrays or linked lists.
In summary:
- A is true for queues.
- B is true for linked lists.
- C is false for binary trees as they are not primarily designed for sorting.
- D is true for stacks.
