What should be at line number 3 to get the total sum of array "sum" ?

public int totalsum( int[] sum ){
int a, b= 0 ;
//which 'for' loop should be here(line :3)
{
b += sum[ a++ ] ;
}
return b ;
}

Which 'for' loop should be at line number 3 to calculate total sum of the array "sum" :

A.	for( int a = 0 ; a< sum.length ; )	B.	for( a= 0 ; a< sum.length ; )
C.	for( a = 0 ; a< sum.length ; a++ )	D.	for( a = 1 ; i <= sum.length ; a++ )

Answer and Explanation

Answer:for( a= 0 ; a< sum.length ; )

Explanation:
In 1st option, variable a is declared again i.e. duplicate variable.
In 3rd option, due to extra loop iterator "a++" , the summation would not be correct.
In 4th option. due to initialization a=1 + due to extra loop iterator "a++" , the summation would not be correct.
