if (loyaltyMember) { applyDiscount(); }
if (cartTotal > 50) { applyFreeShipping(); }Answer and explanation
Correct answer
C. Only free shipping
Why
Since 'loyaltyMember' is false, no discount is applied. However, if free shipping is given for totals over 50, 'cartTotal' of 75 qualifies for free shipping alone.
