How long does memory allocated with malloc() remain valid ?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Until it is explicitly freed or the program ends
Heap memory has no automatic lifetime: it persists until free() is called or the process exits. This is precisely why a function can allocate a block and return its address safely, whereas returning the address of a local variable cannot work.
