1. What is Managed heap?
Junior
A.the region of memory where reference-type objects are allocated and from which the runtime's automatic collector reclaims unreachable instances
B.the contract exposing a Dispose method for deterministic release of unmanaged resources such as file handles or sockets
C.the collector strategy that segregates objects into age tiers, collecting the youngest most often on the premise that most objects die young
D.a separate area for allocations above a size threshold that is collected less frequently and historically not compacted, making it prone to fragmentation
2. Which term means: "the region of memory where reference-type objects are allocated and from which the runtime's automatic collector reclaims unreachable instances"?
A.Managed heap — a construct that guarantees Dispose is invoked on a resource when control leaves the block, even if an exception is thrown
B.Managed heap — the region of memory where reference-type objects are allocated and from which the runtime's automatic collector reclaims unreachable instances
C.Managed heap — the collector strategy that segregates objects into age tiers, collecting the youngest most often on the premise that most objects die young
D.Managed heap — an object cleanup method run non-deterministically by the collector before reclamation, used as a safety net for unmanaged resources and adding overhead to collection
