  "Nothing" is not what really happens.  Something happens - a variable is declared.

  If it was really "nothing", then that variable could be declared again.  I doubt that would work.

  So having eliminated the choice of "nothing", I tried to choose from the remaining answers, and of course got it wrong.

  "nothing" isn't intended to be strictly nothing. The after effects of this code are nothing. The variable is declared, but the batch completion abandons this.

  While the wording wasn't great, I think it isn't hard to decide this creates an error or it doesn't
