Public static long fib(int n)
{
If (n <= 2)
{

{
Return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2) ; // line #2
}
}
Assume line #1 is changed to this:
If (n <= 2) { return 2; }
How will this change affect the result of calling fib(7) ?

• A) It will add 2 to the return from fib(7)
• B) It will add 4 to the return from fib(7)
• C) It will add 8 to the return from fib(7)
• D) It will double the return from fib(7)
