But wouldn't using 'return' change the behavior of the program?

Wait, does the double asterisk in Option C mean exponentiation? If so, that's a pretty weird way to multiply two numbers. I'll stick with Option B.

Haha, the double asterisk in Option C made me chuckle. Is that some kind of secret code for the programmers? Anyway, I think Option B is the way to go.

I'm going with Option D. The double asterisk looks like it might be a typo, but that's the only option that actually assigns the result to the variable 'a'.

I disagree, I believe Option D is the right choice. It assigns the result to 'a' as well.

Option B makes the most sense to me. It explicitly returns the result of the multiplication, which is what the expected output seems to be looking for.
