A B+ tree index is to be built on the name attribute of the relation STUDENT. Assume that all student names are of length 8 byte, disk blocks are of size 512 byte and index pointers are of size 4 byte. Given this scenario, what would be the best choice of the degree (i.e., the number of pointers per node) of the B+ tree?
