Answer from AI

Quick sort (in-place) on average operates in O(n log n) time. It uses call stack memory for recursion, with an average depth of O(log n). Therefore, the average asymptotics are:

  • Time: O(n log n)
  • Additional memory: O(log n) (due to the call stack)

An example from the options:

O(n log n) in time, O(log n) in stack memory

This is the correct answer. Other options are either incorrect in terms of time or memory.
