Correct answer: B
The space complexity of an array of size 'n' is O(n) because the memory required grows linearly with the number of elements. Each element in an array occupies a fixed amount of memory (e.g., 4 bytes for an integer), so storing 'n' elements requires a total space proportional to n. This linear relationship means that as the input size increases, the memory usage scales directly with it.",
