What does a memory leak in a computer process mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The program is not releasing allocated memory after use

The governing concept is dynamic memory management. A process requests memory while it runs and should release that memory when it no longer needs it. In a memory leak, the program loses track of allocated memory or fails to return it, so repeated operations gradually reduce the memory available to the system. This can cause slowing, errors, or a crash. It is not electrical leakage, water damage, or a monitor fault, making B correct.
