Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context:Loop control in C# uses structured jump statements to exit or skip iterations. Knowing which statements actually leave the loop is key. Given Data / Assumptions: Five tokens are listed; some are not C# keywords. Goal: identify statements that exit a while loop. Concept / Approach:“break” exits the nearest loop. “goto” can jump to a label outside the loop (within the same method). “continue” skips only to the next iteration. “exit” and “exit statement” are not C# keywords (Environment.Exit exists but is not a statement). Step-by-Step Solution: Evaluate each item vs C# syntax.1) exit — not a C# statement.2) while — loop keyword, not an exit.3) continue — stays in loop, next iteration.4) break — exits loop immediately.5) goto — may transfer control to a label; if label is outside loop, effect is loop exit. Verification / Alternative check:Any C# reference shows “break” and “goto” as valid jump statements. Why Other Options Are Wrong: 1, 3: Neither exits. 2, 4: Includes “while”. 3, 5: “continue” does not exit. None of these: incorrect because 4 and 5 do exit. Common Pitfalls:Confusing “continue” with “break”. Final Answer:4, 5
