a) The process of linking the actual code with a procedural call during run-time
b) The process of linking the actual code with a procedural call during compile-time
c) The process of linking the actual code with a procedural call at any-time
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: b
Explanation: Binding of calls and variables with actual code at compile-time is called static binding. For example normally whenever we declare a variable we define its type hence compiler knows what type should be binded to that variable i.e. compiler can decide about that variable this is called static binding.
