static, global variable memory allocation

This is an interview question and I gave out my answer here, could you
please check for me?

Q. What are the memory allocation for static variable in a function,
an automatic variable and global variable?

My answer: static variable in function and global variable are
allocated in head, and automatic variable is allocated in stack.

Right?
