Answer: d
Explanation: The function array_merge() merges one or more arrays into one array. If in the
function array_merge(), two or more array elements have the same key, the last one overrides the
others. The function array_combine() will create an array by using the elements from one “keys”
array and one “values” array. The program is the basic combined application of array_combine()
and array_merge().
