How does the recursive solution for Matrix Chain Multiplication break down the problem into smaller subproblems?
By transposing each matrix before multiplication to potentially reduce operations.
By considering all possible pairings of adjacent matrices to multiply.
By sorting the matrices based on their dimensions and multiplying them in order.
By dividing the matrices into halves and recursively multiplying the sub-matrices.
