I know many people are confused saying is C a functional Programming language or not.
But listen let's start with simple yet famous question, "Is C Declarative or Imperative/Procedural .?"
( Declarative means u simply declare "what to do?", but u don't explain how to do it, While Imperative/ Procedural means u explain "how to do it.?" )
So yeah "C is a Imperative/Procedural Language".
Now check the options -> 

  1. S1, S2 and S3 only
  2. S2 and S4 only
  3. S2, S3 and S4 only
  4. S1, S3 and S4 only
Only option 'D' Don't have 'S2' in it. So u can even ignore other checks, saving your time.
And Correct Ans. comes to be 'D'.
