Show answer
Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To determine the output of the given code, let's go through each option:

Option A) 1 3 9

  • This option is incorrect because it only includes the values 1, 3, and 9. It does not take into account the values 5 and 7.

Option B) 5 5 7 7

  • This option is incorrect because it includes duplicate values. The code does not print the same value multiple times in a row.

Option C) 1 3 3 9 9

  • This option is incorrect because it includes duplicate values. The code does not print the same value multiple times in a row.

Option D) 1 1 3 3 9 9

  • This option is correct. Let's go through the code step by step to understand why:
    • The array ia contains the values {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}.
    • The outer for loop iterates over each element x in ia.
    • The inner for loop iterates three times.
    • For each iteration of the inner for loop, the code checks if x is greater than 4 and less than 8. If it is, the continue statement is executed, skipping the rest of the inner loop.
    • If x is not greater than 4 and less than 8, the code prints the value of x.
    • After the first iteration of the inner loop, the code encounters a break statement when j is equal to 1, which stops the inner loop.
    • The outer loop then continues to the next element in ia.
    • The code prints the values 1, 1, 3, 3, 9, 9, which matches option D.

Option E) 1 1 1 3 3 3 9 9 9

  • This option is incorrect because it includes duplicate values. The code does not print the same value multiple times in a row.

Option F) Compilation fails

  • This option is incorrect. The code does not have any syntax errors and will compile successfully.

The correct answer is option D) 1 1 3 3 9 9. This option is correct because it accurately represents the output of the given code.
