Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Correct Answer: O

The stack elements from top to bottom are: L, M, N, O, P, Q.

A stack follows LIFO, so deletion/pop happens from the top.

First pop: L is removed.
Second pop: M is removed.
Third pop: N is removed.

After these three removals, the next element at the top is O.

Therefore, the correct answer is O.
