Haha, I almost went with B) Hoisting. That would've been a rookie mistake! C is the correct answer, of course.

Definitely C. Closures, baby! The inner function `bat()` has access to the variables in its enclosing function's scope.

The answer is C) Outer function's scope. The nested function `bat()` has access to the variable `a` because it's defined in the outer function `foo()'s scope.

Hmm, that makes sense. Hoisting does allow inner functions to access variables from outer functions.

I think the function bar has access to variable a because of outer function's scope.
