What does the extra segment register deal with?
Correct answer: A. Stacks data
- A. Stacks data
- B. I/O units
- C. Mathematical data
- D. Variables
Explanation
Stacks data is the correct answer. Extra segment registers are used to access data structures like stacks which grow and shrink dynamically during program execution.Extra segment registers are used in conjunction with segment registers and offset values to form memory addresses. This allows for flexible memory management, especially for data structures that change size frequently like stacks.
