A variable declared inside a function is generally known as what?

Options

B. Local variable

Answer: (B) Local variable

A variable declared inside a function is called a local variable because its scope is limited to the function or block in which it is declared.

For example:

void test() { int x = 10; }

Here, x is a local variable. It cannot be directly accessed from another unrelated function.

A global variable, in contrast, is declared outside functions and can have a much wider scope.
