What does the 'require' function do in the given context?

  1. Requests additional memory from the heap

  2. Throws an exception if a condition is not met

  3. Prints an error message to the console

  4. Terminates the program

The correct answer is: Throws an exception if a condition is not met

The 'require' function is typically used in programming languages to enforce certain conditions that must be met before proceeding with the code. Option A is incorrect because it does not relate to programming functions, but rather refers to dynamic memory allocation. Option C is incorrect because the 'require' function does not output any messages, it only checks for a condition. Option D is incorrect because terminating a program is not a function of the 'require' function. The correct answer, option B, is the only one that accurately describes the role of the 'require' function as it throws an exception if a condition is not met.
