B Correct answer
Explanation

When assertions are enabled, the loop executes. When i = 2 and j = 2, the assert condition i != j fails. The detail message is the value of i (2). Thus, an AssertionError is thrown printing 2. If assertions are disabled, it prints nothing, but the standard test behavior assumes -ea is enabled.
