B.	is acceptable if the double quotes are replaced by single quotes
C.	is acceptable if the single quotes arc replaced by double quotes

	Answer Report Discuss
	Option: A Explanation : Any command that is keyed-in will be first processed by the shell, which divides the command into tokens, taking into account the metacharacters. So. a b will be divided into two tokens a and b. But 'a b' or "a b" will pass a b as such (i.e. as one token). So. argv [2] will be 'a b' and argv[3] will be "c d". Hence the answer.
