Answer 2

The answer is C: Where the item can be found within the library.

A call number is placed on all printed material in a library and it usually is placed on the spine of the book. The call number tells you what the book is about and it tells you on what shelve exactly is the book located. Because of this information that any call number provides, it also lets you know that other book on similar topics will be close to the call number in question.
