What kind of errors does specifying function arguments as const help to avoid?

Syntax errors
Linker errors
Accidental modification of arguments
Allocation errors

The correct answer is: Accidental modification of arguments

In this context, "specifying function arguments as const" means to declare the arguments as constant, which means their values cannot be changed within the function. This helps to avoid accidental modification of arguments, as mentioned in option C. Syntax errors (A) and linker errors (B) are unrelated to specifying function arguments as const. Allocation errors refer to issues with allocating or managing memory, which is also not directly related to const function arguments. Therefore, overall, option C is the most accurate and relevant answer.
