a. well done!
b. othersprite
c. fruitcount
d. 10

Explanation:

In programming, a variable is a named storage location that can hold a value (like a number, text, etc.). Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: "Well done!" is a text string (a literal), not a variable.
• Option B: "otherSprite" is likely a parameter or a reference to another sprite object, not a variable that stores a value like a count.
• Option C: "fruitCount" is a named entity that would store a numerical value (like the number of fruits collected), so it represents a variable (it's used in a comparison to check if it equals 10).
• Option D: "10" is a constant (a fixed number), not a variable.

Answer:

C. fruitCount
