It's actually B, not C. This is because JavaScript is picky, and JavaScript doesn't except commas inside of numbers. Commas ar enot allowed in numbers, in other words. B looks just like C, but without those commas.

Note: You can always press Command and Shift and i at the same time (on Mac) or Ctrl and Shift and i (on Windows) to open up the JavaScript console to write JavaScript.
