B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement a[i]=i++ is undefined behavior in C because it modifies i and also uses its value in the same expression without a sequence point. However, the expected output is 0 0 1 because a[0] gets the original value of i (which is 0) before the increment, and a[1] remains uninitialized (0 for static arrays). The i variable becomes 1.
