Under which data structure category does the Stack fall?
A
Homogeneous
B
Built-in
C
Non linear
D
Linear
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stacks in Data Structures is a linear type of data structure that follows the LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) principle and allows insertion and deletion operations from one end of the stack data structure, that is top.

Detailed explanation-2: -Linear data structures are easy to implement because computer memory is arranged in a linear way. Its examples are array, stack, queue, linked list, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -A stack is a linear data structure that follows the principle of Last In First Out (LIFO). This means the last element inserted inside the stack is removed first. You can think of the stack data structure as the pile of plates on top of another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Arrays, linked list, stack, queue are the types of a linear data structure. Trees and graphs are the types of a non-linear data structure. Due to the linear organization, they are easy to implement.

Detailed explanation-5: -Linked lists, Stack, Queues are linear because they have connected in a manner that they can have only one descendant at any node. Unlike trees and graphs which can have one or more child or nodes connected to a given node.
