What does the malloc() function return if it fails to allocate memory?

  1. NULL

  2. 0x0

  3. An error code

  4. Both A and B are correct

The correct answer is: Both A and B are correct

If the malloc() function fails to allocate memory, it will return a NULL pointer or a memory address of 0x0, depending on the system. Therefore, both options A and B are correct. Option C is incorrect because the malloc() function does not return an error code when it fails. Instead, it returns NULL or 0x0, indicating a failure to allocate memory.
