Answer: B) Contiguous

The memory utilized by an array in the C and C++ programming languages is normally contiguous, which means that when an array is declared or initialized in the program, a block of memory is selected from the memory space right away. The main disadvantage of an array is that users must guess the size of the array before using it, resulting in a considerable amount of memory being consumed even when the array is not in use. The lack of memory problem arises as a result of this.
