C Correct answer
Explanation

In JavaScript, the + operator behaves differently based on operand types. When both operands are numbers (5+5), it performs arithmetic addition yielding 10. When both operands are strings ('5'+'5'), it performs string concatenation yielding '55'. This is a classic example of type coercion in JavaScript.
