The possible choices (response types) a), b), etc. aren't being recognized (are "missing") because they are indented. You want something like this:

1. What is the primary purpose of the `#define` directive in C?
a) To include a header file.
b) To declare a function.
*c) To define a macro or constant.
d) To create a new data type.
e) To initiate conditional compilation.
