Correct Answer
C. =

Explanation
The given correct answer is "=" because in most programming languages, including Excel, the equal sign is used to indicate the start of a formula or function. It is necessary to include the equal sign at the beginning of a function in order for the program to recognize it as a formula and perform the desired calculation. Without the equal sign, the program would interpret the input as text or a label rather than a function.
