Correct answer: C. integer reminder
- A. exponentiation
- B. multiplication

- D. division
Explanation
The modulus operator (%) in C programming is used to find the remainder after a division operation. It gives the non-negative value left after dividing the first operand by the second.For example:10 % 3 evaluates to 1 because 10 divided by 3 leaves a remainder of 1.17 % 5 evaluates to 2 because 17 divided by 5 leaves a remainder of 2.
