Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand Proc return behavior
The return inside the Proc causes the entire method to return immediately with 5.
Step 2: Method does not reach final return
The return 10 after p.call is never executed because the Proc's return exits the method.
Final Answer:
5 -> Option C
Quick Check:
Proc return exits method = A [OK]
