What does a bounds-checked array prevent?

  1. Compilation errors

  2. Index out of range errors

  3. Memory leaks

  4. Syntax errors

The correct answer is: Index out of range errors

A bounds-checked array prevents index out of range errors by performing a check for valid indices before accessing any data. This ensures that the program does not try to access or modify data that is not within the allowed range, preventing potential crashes or incorrect program behavior. While compilation errors, memory leaks, and syntax errors can all be related to programming with arrays, they are not specifically prevented by a bounds-checked array.
