The keyword used to transfer control from a function back to the calling function is
Answer: Option
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);
}
Output:
c = 7

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.

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.
