Solution

The data type used by the operating system to manage Recursion is Stack.

Here's why:

  1. Recursion involves a function calling itself while a certain condition is true.

  2. Each time the function is called, an instance of that function call (with its specific parameters and local variables) is pushed onto the system stack.

  3. When the function has finished running (i.e., the base case is reached), the function instances are popped off the stack in a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) order. This is the fundamental behavior of a stack.

  4. Therefore, the stack is the data structure that the operating system uses to manage recursion.
