Which of the following is a common cause of memory leaks in Node.js applications?
AKeeping references to objects that are no longer needed
BUsing asynchronous functions
CWriting synchronous code
DUsing the latest Node.js version
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand what causes memory leaks

    Memory leaks happen when your program holds onto data it no longer needs, preventing the system from freeing memory.
  2. Step 2: Identify the correct cause among options

    Keeping references to unused objects prevents garbage collection, causing leaks. Other options do not inherently cause leaks.
  3. Final Answer:

    Keeping references to objects that are no longer needed -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Memory leaks = unused references [OK]
Quick Trick: Memory leaks happen when unused data is still referenced [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking async code always causes leaks
  • Confusing synchronous code with leaks
  • Assuming Node.js version causes leaks
