It is placed within the code of a loop to cause the program to stop the loop statement.

Select one:

a. else

b. break

c. continue

d. goto ... label:

break

Explanation:

The loop is used in the program for executing the block of statement again and again until the condition is not false.

let discuss the options:

a. else

it is a condition statement and it is used with if statement. it is not used for stopping the loop.

c. continue

this statement is used to skip some part of the statement and then continue the loop.

for example:

for (int i=0; i<5; i++) {

i++;

continue;

cout<<"continue:";

}

when the above code executes, the program does not print the message "continue" because when the program gets the continue statement it controls to go back to the for loop statement again it skips all the below of continue statement under the loop.

So, it is not used as stopping the loop.

d. goto ... label:

it is used to move the control of the program to the different location as shown by label but is not stop the loop statement.

the last option: break, it is the one which is used to break the statement.

when program execution found the statement break, the program breaks the loop statement and starts executing the next statement.

Therefore, the answer is a break.
