using namespace std;

templatestruct Out {

ostream & out;

Out(ostream & o): out(o){}

void operator() (const T & val ) { out<

int main() {

int t1[]={3,2,4,1,5};

int t2[]={5,6,8,2,1};

vector v1(10);

sort(t1, t1+5);

sort(t2, t2+5);

set_union(t1,t1+5,t2,t2+5,v1.begin());

for_each(v1.begin(), v1.end(), Out(cout));cout<

return 0;

}

Program outputs:

A3 2 4 1 5 6 8 2 1 0

Option E? Seriously? The only error here is the person who wrote this exam question. They must have been coding in COBOL or something.

Option D? Really? That's just nonsense. This code is clearly working correctly, and the output should be option A or B.

Haha, option C is a good one! The code must be broken if it's printing the elements in reverse order. Maybe the programmer is a time traveler.

I think option B is the correct answer. The set_union function should return the unique elements from both arrays, and the output seems to be in the correct order.

Looks like the code is working fine then. Option B it is.

Yes, I agree. The set_union function should return unique elements in order.

The output should be option A. The set_union function correctly merges the two sorted arrays and stores the result in the vector v1.

The output is correct because set_union merges the sorted arrays t1 and t2 into v1.

I'm not sure about the syntax error, but I think the output should be A) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 because the code is sorting and merging two arrays into a vector.
