Correct Answer: Garbage collection


Solution : The correct answer is Garbage collection.

Garbage collection is a procedure that controls memory allocation and deallocation automatically. Many programming languages and operating systems utilise it to guarantee that memory is used efficiently and that programs do not fail as a result of memory leaks. One phase in trash collection is to go over the whole file system and mark anything that can be accessed. This is required to assess which items are still in use and which may safely be erased.
