Correct Answer
C It raises an error and stops the program.
D It executes the loop body multiple times.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 97 explains: 'The continue statement returns the control to the beginning of the while loop. The continue statement rejects all the remaining statements in the current iteration of the loop and moves the control back to the top of the loop.'

This statement is used to skip part of the current loop iteration and move to the next one.
