Which of the following best describes the capabilities of a vector in a programming environment?
Has a fixed capacity that cannot be exceeded
Dynamically resizes to accommodate new elements
Allows only sequential access to its elements
Stores elements based on a key and allows for element retrieval by key
The core feature that distinguishes a vector from other data structures is its ability to resize dynamically, accommodating more elements as needed. This is unlike a 'static array', which has a fixed size determined at the time of its creation and cannot grow or shrink. An 'object with dynamic properties' refers to the ability to add or remove properties from an object at runtime, which is unrelated to a vector's primary attribute of resizing. A 'stack' is a last-in, first-out (LIFO) data structure used for storing items where only the last item can be accessed, which contrasts with a vector's more flexible indexing capability. Thus, the correct answer highlights the vector's defining trait of dynamic resizing.
