Ruby - Blocks, Procs, and Lambdas

Why does block_given? return false inside a method that calls another method which yields to a block?

ABecause blocks cannot be passed between methods in Ruby

BBecause <code>yield</code> disables block_given? in nested calls

CBecause <code>block_given?</code> only checks for blocks passed directly to the current method

DBecause the block is automatically converted to a Proc

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand block_given? scope
block_given? returns true only if the current method was called with a block.
Step 2: Recognize block passing behavior
If a method calls another method and yields there, the inner method does not see the block unless explicitly passed.
Final Answer:
Because block_given? only checks for blocks passed directly to the current method -> Option C
Quick Check:
block_given? checks only current method's block [OK]

Quick Trick: block_given? checks only current method's block presence [OK]
