Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

The data structure that supports postponing the processing of data until certain conditions are fulfilled is a stack. A stack operates on the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle, meaning the most recently added element is processed first. This behavior allows new operations to be pushed onto the stack and processed only after all previous operations are completed. This makes it ideal for scenarios where processing must be delayed until other tasks are finished, such as in function calls, expression evaluation, or backtracking algorithms.
