d) Formal parameters, because they are in the definition of the macro.
If they were in an invocation of a macro, they would be actual
parameters, as in

    ADD a,b

a and b are actual parameters, and the macro expands as

    LOAD b
    MUL a
    STORE b

Where each instance of a formal parameter has been replaced by its
actual parameter.
