Solution

The size of a union is determined by the size of the biggest member in the union.

Here's why:

A union in programming (like in C or C++) is a special data type that allows storing different types of data in the same memory location. You can define a union with many members, but only one member can contain a value at any given time.

The size of a union is therefore determined by the largest member, because this is the maximum amount of memory the union can occupy. The sum of the sizes of all members, or the size of the first or last member, is irrelevant to the size of the union.

So, the correct answer is "Biggest member in the union".
