The correct answer is: 1) If-else statement

Explanation:
The ternary operator (condition ? expr1: expr2) is a shorthand for a simple if-else statement. It evaluates a condition and returns one of two expressions based on whether the condition is true or false.

Option Analysis

  • For loop → The ternary operator cannot replace iterative loops (it lacks repetition logic).
  • While loop → Same as above; loops require repeated execution, which the ternary operator cannot do.
  • Switch-case statement → The ternary operator handles binary (true/false) conditions, not multi-way branching.

Example:
C Programming
/ Using if-else:
if (x > 10) {
    y = 100;
} else {
    y = 0;
}

/ Equivalent ternary:
y = (x > 10) ? 100 : 0;
