What internal data structure uses push and pop operations to manage method execution?

You’re writing your own programming language and are given three potential algorithms to pick from and implement as the built-in sorting method.  You’re expecting programmers to use the method to sort very large lists.  Out of selection, insertion, and merge sort, which would you pick. State your algorithm choice AND it’s time complexity in big O notation.
