I got this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) Use a function

The best I can explain: The power of a function is to hide the statements which are used to complete our task. So the student can create a function file to add two numbers. Hence, the code will not show the ‘+’ operator but it will be used implicitly.
