Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unlike the constructor that initializes the data members of a class when an object is created, the destructor deallocates the memory resources after the object is no longer in use. In the context of a linked list, the destructor would release the dynamically allocated memory areas occupied by the nodes when the list object is destroyed or goes out of scope. Therefore, option B is the best choice for this question.
