Consider the following recursive implementation of the binary search:
#include<stdio.h>
int recursive_binary_search(int *arr, int num, int lo, int hi)
{
      if(lo > hi)
       return -1;
      int mid = (lo + hi)/2;
      if(arr[mid] == num)
      return mid;
      else if(arr[mid] < num)
          __________;
      else
          hi = mid - 1;
     return recursive_binary_search(arr, num, lo, hi);
}
int main()
{
      int arr[8] ={0,0,0,0,3,5,6,7},num = 7,len = 8;
      int indx = recursive_binary_search(arr,num,0,len-1);
      printf("Index of %d is %d",num,indx);
      return 0;
}
Which of the following lines should be added to complete the above code?

A. hi = mid - 1

B. mid = (lo + hi)/2

C. mid = lo - 1

D. lo = mid + 1
