Answer

an application that you would expect to involve a static data structure

Work Step by Step

If you were to write a program for playing a game of checkers, the data structure representing the checkerboard would probably be a static structure because the size of the board does not change during the game. However, if you were to write a program for playing a game of dominoes, the data structure representing the pattern of dominoes constructed on the table would probably be a dynamic structure because this pattern varies in size and cannot be predetermined.
