    SQL Server indexes are organized in a B-tree structure. The "B" in B-tree stands for what?

    The question is specifically referring to SQL Server indexes. The Microsoft definition would make the most sense.

    Thanks for pointing this out Tom... the question is prefaced with a statement to set the context, which is SQL Server indexes. An important characteristic of SQL Server indexes is the balanced structure, and if nothing else this question highlights that.
