Answer:

B. Integers may be constrained in the maximum and minimum values that can be represented in a program because of storage limitations.

Explanation:

Since the program has been written correctly by the student and yet the output of the program is not what was expected, then the next possibility is that because of the limitations in storage, the integers may be constrained in the minimum and maximum values capable of being represented when writing a program.
