The pseudocode expression that correctly represents integer division is indicated by the use of the double forward slash (//). In this context, integer division means dividing one integer by another and only taking the whole number part of the result, without the decimal fraction.

For the values provided, e = 39 and c = 10, when you perform integer division (e // c), you are essentially calculating how many times the divisor (c) can fit completely into the dividend (e). In this case, 10 fits into 39 three times, with a remainder that is ignored in integer division. Therefore, the result is 3.

Other expressions do not achieve the same result: using a single forward slash (/) would give you the result as a floating-point division (3.9) rather than an integer; the modulus operator (%) would provide the remainder of the division (which is 9 in this case); and e - c would simply subtract c from e, resulting in 29. Therefore, the pseudocode expression that accurately describes the integer division operation is e // c.
