Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The entire set of parameters and the return address for a procedure invocation is stored in a stack frame. This stack frame contains information such as the values of all the parameters passed to the procedure, the return address, any local variables declared within the procedure, and other information required to execute the procedure. The stack frame is created on the system stack when a procedure is called (pushed onto the stack), and is destroyed (popped off the stack) when the procedure execution is completed. Choice A (branch) refers to a control structure that can be used to change the flow of program execution. Choices C and D (pop and push) are operations that can be used to add or remove items from a stack, but they do not specifically refer to the set of parameters and return address stored for a procedure invocation.
