D Correct answer
Explanation

The program prints 'It is even!' because the if condition uses assignment (=) instead of equality comparison (==). The statement 'even = true' assigns true to the variable even and returns true as the expression result, so the if block executes. This is a common mistake - using assignment instead of comparison. There is no syntax or runtime error, and output is produced.
