How does template instantiation primarily occur?

  1. At runtime

  2. During the linking phase

  3. At compile time

  4. When the program starts

The correct answer is: At compile time

Template instantiation occurs at compile time. Template instantiation is a process in which a template is turned into a specific instance of a given type or function. This is done by substituting the template parameters with the actual arguments provided. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because template instantiation does not occur at runtime, during the linking phase, or when the program starts.
