Consider the following C function.
float f,(float x, int y) {
    float p, s; int i;
    for (s=1,p=1,i=1; i < y; i++) {
         p *= x/i;
         s+=p;
    }
return s;
}
For large values of y, the return value of the function f best approximates

Define Languages $${L_0}$$ and $${L_1}$$ as follows
$${L_0} = \left\{ { < M,\,w,\,0 > \left| {M\,\,} \right.} \right.$$ halts on $$\left. w \right\}$$
$${L_1} = \left\{ { < M,w,1 > \left| M \right.} \right.$$ does not halts on $$\left. w \right\}$$

Here $$ < M,\,w,\,i > $$ is a triplet, whose first component, $$M$$ is an encoding of a Turing Machine, second component, $$w$$, is a string, and third component, $$t,$$ is a bit.
Let $$L = {L_0} \cup {L_1}.$$ Which of the following is true?

A
$$L$$ is recursively enumerable, but $$\overline L $$ is not
B
$$\overline L $$ is recursively enumerable, but $$L$$ is not
C
Both $$L$$ and $$\overline L $$ are recursive
D
Neither $$L$$ nor $$\overline L $$ is recursive enumerable
