C) In A, the parameter is missing. The parameters are defined later in the text, but in effect, they allow the user to run the program and include some initial arguments if the program calls for it. In B, the semicolon at the end of the statement is not allowed. In D, "private" instead of "public" would make the program non-executable by anyone and thus makes the definition meaningless.
