Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Array size declarator:

  • The number that is given inside the square brackets at the time of array declaration is called as array size declarator.
  • The value should not be in negative.
  • In order to avoid changing of size inside the source code, the programmers desires to use named constants as array size declarator.

Example for array size declarator:

int arrayName[10];

In the above example:

int – It is the data type

arrayName – Name of the array

10 – Size of the array

Explanation for incorrect options:

Subscript:

Each and every element in an array is assigned to a special value called as subscripts or indexes.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Array Name:

Array name is not used to specify the number of elements in an array rather it mentions the name of the array.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Initialization value:

It is nothing but the data that are given inside the array.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.
