When a variable exists or is accessible, it is said to be _____ A. immediate B. in the path C. available D. in scope

immediate
in the path
available
in scope

The correct answer is: D. in scope.

A variable is said to be in scope if it can be accessed from the current location in the code. A variable’s scope is determined by its

declaration. For example, a variable declared at the top of a function is in scope for the entire function. A variable declared inside a loop is in scope for the entire loop.

The other options are incorrect.

  • A. immediate is not a valid term in computer science.
  • B. in the path is a term used in file systems to refer to the path that leads to a file. It is not relevant to the scope of a variable.
  • C. available is a term used to describe a variable that has been allocated memory. It is not the same as being in scope.
