Question: 1 / 565

What does static storage for a variable inside a function imply?

The variable's storage is part of the function's stack frame

The variable is initialized for each function call

Only one copy of the variable is used for all calls of that function

Explanation Static storage for a variable inside a function means that there is only one copy of the variable which is shared among all calls of that function. This is in contrast to options A and B, which imply that a separate instance of the variable is created for each function call, and option D, which suggests that the variable can be accessed globally outside of the function. However, with static storage, the variable's scope is limited to the function it is declared in.
