Why is the this keyword forbidden in JavaScript?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
The this keyword is forbidden or restricted because functions (in non-strict mode) can access the global object through this. Preventing access to the global object is one of the key purposes of any sandboxing system.
