Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stack is the best choice when data needs to be processed in a LIFO (Last In First Out) manner because it allows for efficient insertion and deletion of items at the top of the stack. It also provides constant time complexity for common operations such as push and pop. On the other hand, a queue (C) and deque (D) are better suited for processing data in a FIFO (First In First Out) manner, while a linked list (B) can be used for both LIFO and FIFO processing but may not be as efficient as a stack for LIFO operations.
