Correct Option: A
We need to divide $n$ recursively and compute like following:
$C_1 = b^{\frac{n}{2}} \times b^{\frac{n}{2}}$. In this, we need to calculate $b^{\frac{n}{2}}$ only once.
$C_2 = b^{\frac{n}{4}} \times b^{\frac{n}{4}}$
$\vdots$
$C_k = b^2 \times b^2 \qquad \Bigg \{k = \log n$
Recurrence relation: $T(n) =T \Bigl (\frac{n}{2} \Bigr ) + O(1)$
$T(n) = O(\log n)$
