Answer: (B) Information referring to the array elements, commonly represented through a pointer to the first element
When a built-in C-style array is passed to a function in the usual parameter form, it does not get copied as a complete array.
For example:
void display(int a[], int n)
The array parameter is treated in the function parameter context as a pointer to its first element.
Therefore, changes made to array elements through the function can affect the original array.
Also remember that the function normally needs the array size separately because the array parameter itself does not automatically carry the number of elements.
