Answer: (C)
Explanation: In a C source program, the basic element recognized by the compiler is the “token.” A token is source-program text that the compiler does not break down into component elements.
There are 6 types of C tokens : identifiers, keywords, constants, operators, string literals and other separators. There are total 10 tokens in the above printf statement.
Below are tokens in above program.
printf ( "i = %d, &i = %x" , i , & i ) ;
