Solution

The statement malloc(sizeof(char) * 10) will allocate 10 bytes on a 64-bit machine. Here's why:

  1. sizeof(char) is always 1 byte by definition in C and C++.
  2. malloc(sizeof(char) * 10) is asking to allocate memory of size 10 times the size of a char. Since a char is 1 byte, this will allocate 10 bytes.

So, the answer is 10 bytes.
