In the expression n = x + rand() % y;
y is the scaling value, as it determines the range of the random number generated by the rand() function. x is the shifting value, as it is added to the random number generated. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because y is not the shifting value, and option B is incorrect because x is not the scaling value. Option D is incorrect because only option C is correct.
