C
Correct answer
Explanation
External variables are defined outside all functions and have global scope, making them accessible throughout the program. They are commonly called global variables because any function can access them. Static variables have internal linkage, register variables suggest CPU register storage, and auto variables are local function variables - none of these describe external variables.
