Consider the following C function:
void swap (int a, int b)
{
   int temp;
   temp = a;

   b = temp;
}
In order to exchange the values of two variables x and y.
A
call swap (x, y)
B
call swap (&x, &y)
C
swap (x, y) cannot be used as it does return any value
D
swap (x, y) cannot be used as the parameters are passed by value
