Let A[1,...,n] be an array storing a bit (1 or 0) at each location, and f(m) is a function whose time complexity is O(m). Consider the following program fragment written in a C like language:
counter = 0;
for(i = 1; i <= n; i++){
 if(A[i]==1){
   counter++;
 }else{
   f(counter); counter = 0;
 }
}

C
$$\theta (n)$$
D
$$O(n)$$
