Question

Option C is correct. The output is "ELSE". Only when a is false do the output lines after 11 get some chance of executing.Option A is wrong. The output is "A". Whenais true, irrespective of the value ofb, only the line 5 output will be executed. The condition at line 7 will never be evaluated (when a is true it will always be trapped by the line 12 condition) therefore the output will never be "A && B".Option B is wrong. The output is "A". Whenais true, irrespective of the value ofb, only the line 5 output will be executed.Option D is wrong. The output is "notB".

Answer
