Solution

The type of memory allocation referred for Linked List is Dynamic. So, the answer is d) Dynamic.

Here's why:

  1. In a linked list, elements can be inserted or removed from the list without reorganizing the entire data structure. This is unlike an array, which needs to be declared in the beginning, specifying its size.

  2. The size of the linked list can increase or decrease as per the requirements at runtime. This is possible because linked lists use dynamic memory allocation.

  3. In dynamic memory allocation, memory is allocated at runtime and the allocation of memory at runtime is done through a system function such as malloc() or new().

  4. Therefore, linked lists are flexible with the size of the data and the amount of data that can be stored.

So, the memory allocation for Linked List is dynamic, not static.
