Refer to the exhibit. Which Python data structure does my_json contain?

The correct answer is D. Dict. When Python's json.loads() (or equivalent) parses a JSON object (curly-brace {} structure), it produces a Python dictionary (dict). Although the variable is named my_json, the name is misleading - after parsing, the value is a native Python dict, not a JSON string. 'JSON' (B)…

Explanation

When Python's json.loads() (or equivalent) parses a JSON object (curly-brace {} structure), it produces a Python dictionary (dict). Although the variable is named my_json, the name is misleading - after parsing, the value is a native Python dict, not a JSON string. 'JSON' (B) is a serialization format, not a Python data structure. A Python list (A) would result from parsing a JSON array ([]). map (C) is either a Python built-in function or a lazy iterator, not a data structure produced by JSON parsing.
