Which statements describe Python?

• A. Easy to read code and it runs without conversion to machine code
• B. Difficult syntax and requires manual memory management
• C. Compiled to native machine code before execution
• D. Limited to scripting tasks

Answer: (A)

Python is designed to be easy to read and write, with clear, high-level syntax and automatic memory management. In day-to-day use, you run Python code via an interpreter rather than compiling it to native machine code ahead of time. The interpreter reads the code, may translate it to bytecode, and then executes it on a virtual machine, all without you performing a separate compilation step. This combination—readable syntax and an interpreted execution model—is what the option captures best. The other statements describe traits that don’t generally apply: Python isn’t hard to read with manual memory management, it isn’t limited to scripting tasks, and while some implementations can optimize to machine code, the standard workflow isn’t compiled into native machine code before execution.
