Stacks are crucial in recursive algorithms because they support backtracking by maintaining a history of function calls. Every recursive call is pushed onto the stack, and when a base condition is met, the stack unwinds (pops) the calls in reverse order. This property is integral for problems like solving mazes, tree traversal (DFS), or evaluating expressions. The Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) nature of stacks ensures that the most recent state is resumed first, making them perfect for backtracking scenarios. Why Other Options Are Incorrect · Option 1 (Efficient sorting): Stacks are not inherently used for sorting. Algorithms like Quick Sort and Merge Sort do not directly depend on stacks for sorting efficiency. · Option 2 (Memory allocation for variables): This is managed by the program's runtime stack, not the data structure itself. · Option 4 (Managing concurrent processes): This is more relevant to queues or process schedulers. · Option 5 (Sorting data): Stacks are used in algorithms like stack-based parsing but are not designed for general sorting.
