What does typedef allow you to do in C?

  1. Rename a datatype

  2. Create a new variable

  3. Initialize a struct

  4. Define a constant

The correct answer is: Rename a datatype

Typedef in C allows you to create a new name for an existing data type. This is useful for creating more descriptive and easily understandable names for complex data types. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because typedef does not create a new variable, initialize a struct, or define a constant. Instead, it allows you to create an alias for an existing data type, making it more convenient to use in code.
