Identifying the deepest folder in the tree

Note - please don't downvote me because of the image. Its not a code in the image, its just a diagram which can be easily visualised there.
As you can see in this image, the deepest directory is "n2" within "a" --> https://imgur.com/a/jzzbm .
With the script/command/cmdlet/program, I want to programmatically find out the deepest folder within a given folder and be able to navigate into it (or print the absolute path of that deepest folder!).
Any help on how could this be achieved is appreciated.

hey man i get your annoyance. But when I tried to paste it as it is, it looked horrible and not in the format. I quickly glanced over the formatting tips but couldnt figure it out.

@Nish Please do paste the text into your question, select it, and press Ctrl+K to format it as code so it looks correct. That will make this question considerably better.

Using find, sort and sed:
find . -type d -printf '%d %p' | sort -zrn | sed -z 's/[0-9]* //; q'
- With
find:- looking for directories (
-type d) %dand%pare the depth and name (including path)
- looking for directories (
sortsorts the lines numerically, in reverse- with
sed, strip the leading depth, and quit after the first line, leaving just the path of the directory with the greatest depth
So:
cd "$(find . -type d -printf '%d %p' | sort -zrn | sed -z 's/[0-9]* //; q')"
