E) The loop iterates through all 12 array elements. If a particular value of candy is found to be larger than value1, then this new value is remembered in value1 along with the index of where it was found in value2. As the loop continues, if a new candy value is found to be greater than the current value1, then it is remembered instead, so the loop finds the maximum number of candy bars sold in value1 and the child's index who sold the most in value2. Since value2 is returned, the code returns the index of the child who sold the most.
