A Correct answer
Explanation

The call by value method of passing arguments to a function copies the actual value of an argument into the formal parameter of the function. In this case, changes made to the parameter inside the function have no effect on the argument. By default, C uses call by value to pass arguments. In general, this means that code within a function cannot alter the arguments used to call the function.
