Answer:

C: clustering of memory references

Step-by-step explanation:

Locality of reference in computer science is also regarded as the principle of locality. This is considered the likelihood of a processor to keep accessing the same memory location sets continuously and usually for a short period of time. When a computer program continues to access instructions that has addresses in a cluster, this is called locality of references.
