FreeRTOS - Task Creation and Management

Identify the error in this xTaskCreate() usage:

TaskHandle_t xHandle;
BaseType_t result = xTaskCreate(vTaskCode, "Task2", 500, NULL, 1, xHandle);

APriority must be zero

BTask name should not be in quotes

CMissing & before xHandle in last parameter

DStack size is too large

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check the task handle parameter
The last parameter must be a pointer to the task handle variable, so it requires the address operator &.
Step 2: Verify other parameters
The task name is correctly a string in quotes, stack size 500 is valid, and priority 1 is allowed.
Final Answer:
Missing & before xHandle in last parameter -> Option C
Quick Check:
Task handle needs & operator [OK]

Quick Trick: Always pass &TaskHandle, not TaskHandle alone [OK]
