The factorial of an integer is the product of that integer multiplied by all the positive non-zero integers less than that integer. So, 5! (! is the mathematical symbol for factorial) is 5 * 4 * 3*2*1. 4! is 4*3*2*1, so 5! could be written as 5*4!. So a recursive definition of factorial is n! is n*(n-1)!, as long as n >1. 1! is 1. What is the stopping case for this function?

a. n<1
b. n==0
c. n==1
d. none of the above


c. n==1
