MATLAB - Cell Arrays and Structures

fname = 'score';
S.fname = 100;
disp(S.score);

AVariable fname is not defined

BMissing semicolon after assignment

CUsing dot notation with variable name instead of dynamic field

Ddisp function cannot display structure fields

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze field assignment
The code uses S.fname = 100; which creates a field literally named 'fname', not 'score'.
Step 2: Check display statement
disp(S.score); tries to display field 'score' which does not exist, causing an error.
Final Answer:
Using dot notation with variable name instead of dynamic field -> Option C
Quick Check:
Use S.(fname) for dynamic fields [OK]

Quick Trick: Use parentheses for dynamic field names to avoid errors [OK]
