The answer is the first one: Stack.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Stack: Local scope variables and parameters are stored in the stack. The stack is a region of memory that stores temporary variables created by each function. When a function is called, a new block is created on the stack for its local variables and parameters. This block is removed when the function exits.

  2. Global: This is incorrect. Global variables are stored in a different area of memory, not the stack. They are accessible throughout the program and exist for the duration of the program's execution.

  3. Static: This is incorrect. Static variables are stored in a separate area of memory and retain their value between function calls. They are not stored in the stack.

  4. Heap: This is incorrect. The heap is used for dynamic memory allocation, where variables are allocated and freed manually by the programmer. Local scope variables and parameters are not stored in the heap.

  5. Imperative: This is incorrect. Imperative is not a type of memory storage; it refers to a programming paradigm that uses statements to change a program's state.

In summary, local scope variables and parameters exist in the stack.

In the spectrophotometry lab experiment, you constructed a calibration curve to determine the concentration of an unknown dye using the Beer-Lambert law. A=εℓc Based on the experiment, select the CORRECT statement below: The calibration curve was used to determine the molar absorptivity, ε, which was the slope of the line. The calibration curve was used to obtain the x-axis which is the concentration of the unknown dye. The calibration curve was used to obtain the y-axis, which is the concentration of the unknown dye. The Beer-Lambert law can be used directly without generating a calibration curve for determining the concentration of an unknown dye.
