Why is the analysis often for the worst case?

A. Best-case is not representative.
B. Average-case analysis is ideal, but difficult to perform, because it is hard to determine the relative probabilities and distributions of various input instances for many problems.
C. Worst-case is not representative, but worst-case analysis is very useful. You can show that the algorithm will never be slower than the worst-case.
