The method sumTwoNumbers is defined below. Assume this method is part of a larger class. public int sumTwoNumbers(int numberOne, int numberTwo){ int total = numberOne + numberTwo; return total;}In the method sumTwoNumbers, which statement about the variable total is correct?[Fill in the blank]

When analyzing the variable total inside the method sumTwoNumbers, we must consider where total is declared and how its lifetime and visibility are defined.
Option a: total is a local variable whose scope is the method body. This is correct because total is declared inside the method body with int total = numberOne + numberTwo;. Local variables declared in a method are only accessible within that method, so their scope is the method body itself.
Option b: total is a field whose scope is the method body. This is incorrect because a field is a member of the class (an instance or static field) and its scope is the entire class, not limited to the method body. total is not declared at the class level.
Option c: total is a parameter whose scope is the method body. This is false because parameters of a method appear in the method signature (between parentheses after the method name) and are the inputs provided when the method is called. Here, numberOne and numberTwo are the parameters; total is not a parameter.
Option d: total is a local variable whose scope is the entire class. This is incorrect since local variables do not have class-wide scope; they are confined to the block in which they are declared, which for total is the method body, not the entire class.
Option e: total is a field whose scope is the entire class. This is not true because total is not declared as a class field; it is declared inside the method, so it cannot be a class field.
Option f: total is a parameter whose scope is the entire class. This is incorrect for two reasons: it is not a parameter, and even parameters do not have scope beyond the class—they exist only within the method.
