A Correct answer
Explanation

Among the listed operators, Bitwise XOR (^) has the highest precedence. The precedence order is: Bitwise XOR (^) > Bitwise OR (|) > Logical AND (&&) > Logical OR (||). The answer is A because XOR ranks highest. Bitwise operators generally have higher precedence than logical operators, and within bitwise operators, XOR outranks OR. This affects expressions like a ^ b | c - XOR binds tighter.
