The answer is m = 3.

Start at the top and work your way down. a and b are set to 2. c is set to 4.

Is a is bigger than b (2 bigger than 2)? No. move to the else.

Is c not equal to zero (3 not equal to 0)? Yes. Follow the then.

m is set to 3.

If the code was tabbed a bit differently it might be easier to follow the if/then/else flows.
