Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

You cannot use reserved keywords (special words that have built-in meaning in the language) as variable names. "PRINT" is a keyword that instructs the program to display output, so it cannot be used as a variable name to store values. This would create confusion for the compiler/interpreter about whether you mean the command or a variable.
