ASyntaxError due to variable naming

BRuntime error: undefined variable

CNo error, outputs 30

DNo error, outputs 10

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze variable types and naming
'total' is a local variable, 'Total' is a constant. Both are defined before use.
Step 2: Evaluate the expression in puts
Adding 'Total' (20) and 'total' (10) results in 30. No syntax or runtime errors occur.
Final Answer:
No error, outputs 30 -> Option C
Quick Check:
Constant + local variable sums correctly [OK]

Quick Trick: Constants uppercase, locals lowercase; both can be used together [OK]
