What does 'ssize = 100' signify in the template class StackTemplate?

  1. The size of each element in the stack

  2. The default maximum size of the stack

  3. The number of iterators available

  4. The index of the top element

The correct answer is: The default maximum size of the stack

In template classes, the initial values for variables are set as placeholders until they are replaced or changed by user input. In this case, 'ssize' represents the maximum size of the stack and it has been initialized to 100 as a default value. This means that the stack can hold up to 100 elements unless the user specifies a different value. Choice A is incorrect because 'ssize' does not necessarily refer to the size of the elements, but rather the size capacity of the stack. Choice C is incorrect as 'ssize' is not related to iterators. Choice D is also incorrect as it does not accurately describe the purpose of 'ssize' in the stack template class.
