Question: 1 / 565

What happens when a temporary object is no longer needed in C++?

Its memory is immediately reclaimed by the garbage collector

Its destructor is called and the memory is deallocated

When a temporary object is no longer needed in C++, its destructor is called and the memory allocated to it is deallocated. The other options are incorrect because

A: C++ does not have a built-in garbage collector, so it is responsible for memory management.

C: Temporaray objects are destroyed automatically, thus they do not persist until the end of program execution.

D: Dangling pointer refers to a pointer that points to a memory location that has been deallocated, which can happen if the temporary object's memory is not properly managed and deallocated.
