AThe method's frame remains on the stack
BThe method's frame is popped off the call stack
CThe call stack is reset to empty
DThe call stack doubles in size
Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand method completion

    When a method finishes, its frame is removed from the call stack to return control to the caller.

  2. Step 2: Effect on call stack

    This popping reduces the stack size by one frame, restoring the previous method's context.

  3. Final Answer:

    The method's frame is popped off the call stack -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Method end removes frame = D [OK]
Quick Trick: Method end removes its frame from stack [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking the stack size increases after method ends
  • Believing the stack resets completely
  • Assuming frames stay after method finishes
