To reference the integer 77 in the given array, you need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the given array:
```
int scores[] = {83, 62, 77, 97};
```
2. Understand the indexing of arrays: Array indices start from 0. This means the first element is at index 0, the second element at index 1, the third element at index 2, and so forth.
3. Locate the position of the integer 77 in the array by counting from the start:
- The element at index 0 is 83.
- The element at index 1 is 62.
- The element at index 2 is 77.
- The element at index 3 is 97.
4. Since the integer 77 is located at index 2, the correct way to reference it is:
```
scores[2]
```
So, the correct reference for the integer 77 in the array is `scores[2]`.
