C Correct answer
Explanation

A sustained increase in memory utilization after a process's startup phase signals a memory leak. Normally, memory usage stabilizes after initialization. A memory leak occurs when a program allocates memory but fails to release it after use, causing continuous growth that eventually exhausts available memory.
