Which of the following is not a function of the break statement?

A) To exit early from a loop
B) To skip the remainder of a switch structure
C) To eliminate the use of certain boolean variables in a loop
D) To ignore certain values for variables and continue with the next iteration of a loop

The break statement is used to exit early from a loop (A) and to skip the remainder of a switch structure (B). It can also help eliminate the use of certain boolean variables in a loop (C) by providing a direct way to exit the loop. However, it does not ignore certain values for variables and continue with the next iteration of a loop; that function is performed by the continue statement, not the break statement.
