Consider the following C - function:
double foo(int n){
 int i;
 double sum;
 if(n == 0) return 1.0;
 sum = 0.0;
 for (i = 0; i < n; i++){
  sum += foo(i);
 }
 return sum;
}
Suppose we modify the above function foo() and store the values of foo(i), $$0 \le i \le n$$, as and when they are computed. With this modification, the time complexity for function foo() is significantly reduced. The space complexity of the modified function would be:
A
O(1)
B
O(n)
C
O(n2)
D
O(n!)
