In C language who calls the main() function?

Question

I have been frequently coming accross people asking this question to which other people respond Operating System calls the main() function which is WRONG!

Answer 1

The right answer is as soon as the program's exe file is loaded to RAM a stub is created and the OS gives the CLR to that stub which then calls the main() function.Therefore it's incorrect to say that OS calls main (). Hope it will help in your technical interviews ☺

Answer 2
