True or False: The base address of an array is the address of the first array component.

The statement is accurate because the base address of an array refers specifically to the memory location of the first element of that array. In programming, when you declare an array, the computer allocates a contiguous block of memory to store its elements, with the first element located at the lowest memory address for that array. This first element's address is referred to as the base address.

Using the base address, you can compute the address of any other element in the array by using an offset based on the size of the data type of the elements. This property holds true for all types of arrays, including one-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays, where the base address continues to represent the location of the first element in that array.

The notion that the base address can vary by implementation or is only true for one-dimensional arrays does not apply here, as the definition remains consistent across all types and implementations.
