The keyword used to transfer control from a function back to the calling function is
[A].
switch
[B].
goto
[C].
go back
[D].
return
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The keyword return is used to transfer control from a function back to the calling function.
Example:
#include<stdio.h>
int add(int, int); /* Function prototype */
int main()
{
int a = 4, b = 3, c;
c = add(a, b);
printf("c = %d\n", c);
return 0;
}
int add(int a, int b)
{
/* returns the value and control back to main() function */
return (a+b);
}

@Klp
The return 0 in the main function transfers the control back to OS (DOS), and denotes that program exits successfully.
It may return 0 for successful completion, -1 to denote error occurred.
From your c program you can call another c program.
Example:
system("mypro.exe") - This function will return 0 on successful completion and -1 on error situation.

If any declearation is not persent in the original pattern then prototype error will occur.
Ex: If you type only print in turboc then it will show you print is a prototype or not specified the header file then also it will come such as if you use getch() without use of the #include<conio.h> header file (in turboc) then it will come getch() is a prototype.

In simple way, return is a c-keyword used to transfer the control from called function to calling function. It can also use for return a single value.
0 is beside return because the function is integer type it should return integer value.

We cannot write two arguments in the return statements
ex:
return(x,y);
it will take only 3

Tell me the difference between printf (predefined function) and return (keyword).

Relation between main function and called function is called "PROTOTYPE".
EX:- int add(int, int); /* Function prototype */

I think the answer is also may be relating to functions..
and finally what is the out put;

}

printf function can be used for print the statement and return keyword can be used for return the routine from called function to calling function declaration.

Function prototyping is nothing but we are declaring that we have a function in a specific name to the compiler.
