What happens if you call delete for an object not created by new?

It results in undefined behavior
The destructor is called normally
Memory is not released
The program crashes immediately

The correct answer is: It results in undefined behavior

Calling delete for an object not created by new will result in undefined behavior because the object was not allocated using dynamic memory allocation. This can cause various issues in the program, such as accessing invalid memory or causing memory leaks. Options B, C and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the result of calling delete on an object not created by new. It is important to only use delete for objects allocated using new to ensure proper memory management in a program.
