    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The sizeof function return the given variable. Example: float a=10; sizeof(a) is 4 bytes
    >> float arr[] = {12.4, 2.3, 4.5, 6.7}; The variable arr is declared as an floating point array and it is initialized with the values.

    >> printf("%d", sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]));
    The variable arr has 4 elements. The size of the float variable is 4 bytes.
    Hence 4 elements x 4 bytes = 16 bytes
    sizeof(arr[0]) is 4 bytes
    Hence 16/4 is 4 bytes
    Hence the output of the program is '4'.
