The given string contains a mix of hexadecimal and underscore characters. The first four characters "11ea" represent a hexadecimal number, which when converted to binary is "0001000111101010". The fifth character "7" is a hex digit and when converted to binary is "0111". Since alpha[2] is the fourth bit from the right in the binary representation, its value is 1. Therefore, the answer is C (alpha[2] equals 5).
