Expert Solution

solution:

I would suggest you to go with B-Tree or Red-Black Tree or AVL Tree.
The average access time for all the above data structures is theta(log n)
The worst case access time is also O(log n).

Not only access but also search, insertion, deletion is also same in both the cases.
