    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    for(i=-1; ++i; i>0) so expression i=-1 initializes for loop. expression ++i is the loop condition. expression i>0 is the increment expression.

    In for( i = -1; ++i; i>0) expression i=-1 evaluates to one.

    Loop condition always get evaluated to true. Also at this point it increases i by one.

    An increment_expression i>0 has no effect on value of i.so for loop get executed till the limit of integer (ie. 65535)
