In what situation is an inline function expanded?

During run time.
During linking.
At the location of the function call.
After the program execution.

The correct answer is: At the location of the function call.

A) An inline function is expanded at the location of the function call, therefore option A is incorrect. B) An inline function is expanded at the location of the function call, therefore option B is incorrect. D) An inline function is expanded at the location of the function call, therefore option D is incorrect. Explanation An inline function is expanded at the location of the function call, which is the correct answer. This means that the code of the inline function is inserted directly at the location where the function is called, saving the time and memory required to perform a regular function call. Options A and B are incorrect because an inline function is expanded at a compile-time, not runtime or linking. Option D is incorrect because the expansion of an inline function happens before the execution of the program, not after. Therefore, the only correct option is option C, which states that the
