Ximena Molina · Answer 1

Option (e)

Explanation:

rand () function results into a random number between 0 to a maximum number RAND_MAX which is a constant. To range it from 1, 1 is added and to decide its maximum value it should be modulo with that number. For example - if a number generated is 56 the 56%10 will be 6 which is in the range of 1 to 10. Option (a) is same as Option (b) because 1 is added and then subtracted which is neutral. Similarly, option (c) is also same.
