Where are variables stored for maximum runtime speed according to the text?

  1. In dynamic storage

  2. On the stack

  3. In static storage

  4. In virtual storage

The correct answer is: On the stack

Variables are stored on the stack for maximum runtime speed because the stack is the memory location that is closest to the processor. This allows for quick access and manipulation of variables during program execution. While options A and C refer to storage locations, dynamic storage and static storage, respectively, they do not offer the same speed as the stack. Virtual storage, option D, is not a commonly used memory storage method for variables. Therefore, the most efficient and optimal choice is storing variables on the stack.
