Option A is incorrect because the array is originally sized to hold 50 values, not 51. Option B is correct - the array is reinitialized to hold 66 values. Option D is incorrect because when an array is redimensioned, the data is preserved for the elements that remain within the new array bounds. Option C is correct - if the array had been redimensioned to a smaller size, the colleague would not lose the data between the original upper-bound array size and the new smaller upper-bound array size.
