Options
A Definite integral
B finite integral
C indefinite integral
Correct Answer
D integrand
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

When an integral has no specified limits of integration (upper and lower bounds), and it includes an arbitrary constant 'C', it is referred to as an indefinite integral. It represents the family of all antiderivatives of the function f(x). A definite integral has specific limits and results in a numerical value. The integrand is the function being integrated, f(x).

Hint

Consider the presence of the arbitrary constant 'C' and the absence of integration limits.
