Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

An array in programming (especially in C/C++, Java, etc.) is defined as:

A collection of elements of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory locations, and accessed using an index.

Example in C:

int arr[3] = {10, 20, 30};

All elements are of type int
They are stored in memory one after another (contiguous)
Can be accessed using index: arr[0], arr[1], arr[2]

❌ Option A is incorrect:

Non-contiguous memory would imply a linked list, not an array.

✅ Correct Answer: (B)
