Solve the following python programming problem given the following code:
def positional(max_pos_args) : 
    "A decorator to declare that only the first N arguments may be positional.

  Note that for methods, n includes 'self'.
  " 
    __ndb_debug__ = 'SKIP' 
    def positional_decorator(wrapped) : 
        if (not DEBUG) : 
            return wrapped 
__ndb_debug__ = 'SKIP' 
        @ wrapping (wrapped) 
        def positional_wrapper(* args, **kwds) : 
            __ndb_debug__ = 'SKIP' 
            if (len (args) > max_pos_args) : 
                plural_s = '' 
                if (max_pos_args != 1) : 
                    plural_s = 's' 
raise TypeError (('%s() takes at most %d positional argument%s (%d given)' % (wrapped.__name__, max_pos_args, plural_s, len (args)))) 
return wrapped (* args, ** kwds) 
return positional_wrapper 
return <MASK> 
    
    Given the code above, what is a proper replacement for <MASK>? Choose among: max_pos_args, __ndb_debug__
assistant
#Here is a proper replacement for <MASK>.
