Solution

The answer is a) Copy of structure variable.

When you pass a structure variable to a function in C, a copy of the structure is actually passed, not the original structure itself. This is known as "pass by value". Any changes made to the structure within the function do not affect the original structure. If you want to modify the original structure, you would need to pass a pointer to the structure instead.
