Answer: a
Explanation: In the above C code, we assign a zero value to the variable x. In the if condition, we are reassigning a value of zero to x. Remember, we are “NOT” comparing its values to zero (you can see that it is a single ‘=’ sign, it’s not a double ‘==’ sign). Hence, the if-condition becomes false and the printf() function of the else condition will be executed which will display “Its not zero”.
