Which operator is used to perform a bitwise XOR operation in C?

In C, the ^ operator is used to perform a bitwise XOR (exclusive OR) operation. It performs a bitwise XOR between corresponding bits of two integers. It returns a new integer where each bit is the result of XORing the corresponding bits of the operands.

Option A (&&) represents the logical AND operator, used for logical comparisons, not bitwise operations.
Option B (||) represents the logical OR operator, used for logical comparisons, not bitwise operations.
Option C (&) represents the bitwise AND operator, used for bitwise AND operations, not bitwise XOR.
