What are the actual values that parameters take when a sub program is called?

The correct answer is "Arguments" because arguments are the actual values or data that are passed into a subprogram (or function) when it is called. When you define a subprogram, you set up parameters, which are essentially placeholders for the values that will be provided. However, when you call that subprogram and include specific values, those values become the arguments.

For example, if you have a function that takes two parameters, you might call it and pass two numbers, like this: functionName(5, 10). In this case, 5 and 10 are the arguments being passed to the function.

Parameters serve as the variables that function as containers for these arguments within the subprogram. Local variables are used only within the function and can hold data or values during its execution but do not refer to the values being passed in from a call. Function calls refer to the instruction to execute a subprogram, not the specific values themselves.
