Answer: ঘ) Skip the rest of the current iteration and move to the next
Explanation:
The continue statement in programming (C, C++, Java, Python, etc.) is used inside loops:

When the program encounters continue, it immediately skips the remaining statements in the current iteration.
Then, the loop proceeds with the next iteration (checking the loop condition for while/for loops).

Example in C:
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
if(i == 3) {
continue; // skip printing 3
}
printf("%d ", i);
}

Output:
1 2 4 5
Notice that 3 is skipped, but the loop continues.

Incorrect options:
(ক) Exits the loop → that’s break
(খ) Terminates the program → that’s exit()
(গ) Re-execute loop twice → not related
