Applying a divisive algorithm on the network below, we obtain the following dendrogram:

Network 

Dendrogram

Looking at the dendrogram, we establish two cuts creating community partitions. Which partition yields better communities and why? (Values are rounded to 2 decimal places).

1. A, because its modularity is equal to 0.36
2. A, because its modularity is equal to 0.45
3. B, because its modularity is equal to 0.36
4. B, because its modularity is equal to 0.45
5. None of the above.
