Which of the following statements will assign the largest value of three integer variables a, b, and c to the integer variable maximum?
A) maximum = Math.max (a, b, c);
B) maximum=Math.max (a, b);
maximum= Math.(b, c);
maximum=Math.max (a, c);
C) maximum = Math.max (a, b);
maximum = Math. max (maximum, c);
D) maximum = Math.max (a, b)+ Math.max (b, c)+ Math.max (a, c);

Which of the following statements will assign the largest value of three integer variables a, b, and c to the integer variable maximum? 
A) maximum = Math.max (a, b, c);
B) maximum=Math.max (a, b);
maximum= Math.(b, c);
maximum=Math.max (a, c);
C) maximum = Math.max (a, b);
maximum = Math. max (maximum, c);
D) maximum = Math.max (a, b)+ Math.max (b, c)+ Math.max (a, c);

Using the Math.max() function, we can compare two variables at a time. Therefore, we first find the maximum value between variables a and b, and assign it to the new variable maximum. Then, we compare this maximum with the third variable c, and re-assign the maximum value to the same variable. This ensures that the variable maximum holds the largest value among the three variables a, b, and c.
