Explanation:
The main advantages of segmentation are as follows:
It provides a powerful memory management mechanism.
Data related or stack related operations can be performed in different segments.
Code related operation can be done in separate code segments.
It allows to processes to easily share data.
It allows to extend the address ability of the processor, i.e. segmentation allows the use of 16 bit registers to give an addressing capability of 1 Megabytes. Without segmentation, it would require 20 bit registers.
It is possible to enhance the memory size of code data or stack segments beyond 64 KB by allotting more than one segment for each area.
