problem involving matrix and binary search trees

[mark]

I have a 5x5 Matrix. Each cell consists a string value(ex:URL of a
website)

I want to find out which string value occurs( i.e. repeats ) maximum
no. of times in the matrix.
I have a hint that BINARY SEARCH TREE will be used here and that NODE
class in c# may be used to implement trees.

The output can be in the form of array/matrix/Binary Search Tree etc.
I am not allowed to use unsafe block to create/access trees.

Honestly, I think your teacher is a better person to ask the question.
Especially since they are not recommending the best-performing solution,
and given that there's no "NODE" class in C# or .NET (though there are
classes that act as nodes).

If what your teacher wants is for you to learn to code a binary tree
(which seems likely, given the problem statement), then for us to
demonstrate that for you would cheat you out of an education.
