E. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to this question is A. 0.

Explanation:

In this segment of code #define MAX 50 is used.It is a pre-processor directive and in pre processor directive it is a MACRO means whenever the compiler encounters the word MAX in the execution it replaces MAX with 50.

So the size of the array becomes 50 and the indexing starts from 0 and upto 49.
