Explanation
In C, the correct way to declare a variable involves specifying the data type, followed by the variable name, and optionally an initial value using an assignment operator (=).• Data type: This specifies the kind of data the variable can hold, such as integers (int), floating-point numbers (float), characters (char), etc.• Variable name: This is a name chosen by the programmer to identify the variable. It should follow naming conventions (letters, digits, and underscores, starting with a letter).• Assignment (optional): You can initialize the variable with a value during declaration using the assignment operator (=).
