different types.
Incorrect Answers
B: This procedure conflicts with the first procedure declaration in that its parameters differs only by name but have the same data type. You cannot use two procedures with the same name if their parameters differ only in name or mode. C: This procedure conflicts with the third procedure declaration in that its parameters differs only by name but have the same data type.
D: This procdure can’t be overloaded because it does not use the same name. Package overloading allows more than one procedure or function inside the package to use the same name.
