Atticus Walker · Answer 1

B. False

Explanation:

When a value is placed in a memory location, the previous value in that location is not moved to the next available location in memory. Rather than that happening, the previous value is totally discarded or removed from memory. In other words, the previous value is over-written. To prevent this from happening, the programmer has to explicitly or expressly move the previous value to another location in memory.
