(b) programs with FAR subroutines each of size up to 64KB

(c) programs with more than one segment for stack

(d) all of the mentioned

The question was posed to me during an internship interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Interrupt Programming, Passing Parameters to Procedures, Handling Programs of Size More Than 64KB topic in division Special Architectural Features and Related Programming of Microprocessor

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) all of the mentioned

The best I can explain: By writing programs with more than one segment for data, code or stack or by writing programs with FAR subroutines each of size 64KB, the size of an executable program can be estimated.
