+ AnswerA

+ ExplanationEven though print() and echo() are essentially interchangeable most of the time, there is a substantial difference between them. While print() behaves like a function with its own return value (although it is a language construct), echo() is actually a language construct that has no return value and cannot, therefore, be used in an expression. Thus, Answer A is correct.
