Refer to the exhibit. Which output is expected when this code runs? def test(definedArgument, args, *kwargs): print (definedArgument) print (args) print (kwargs["test1"]) test("USER",1,2,True,"Hello W
The correct answer is D. USER (1, 2, True, 'Hello World') Test Passed!. Option D is correct because Python assigns "USER" to definedArgument, collects the remaining positional arguments (1, 2, True, 'Hello World') into a tuple called args, and stores keyword arguments in the kwargs dictionary - so kwargs["test1"] retrieves the value "Test Passed!", n

Explanation
Option D is correct because Python assigns "USER" to definedArgument, collects the remaining positional arguments (1, 2, True, 'Hello World') into a tuple called args, and stores keyword arguments in the kwargs dictionary - so kwargs["test1"] retrieves the value "Test Passed!", not the key name.
Why the distractors fail:
- A is wrong because Python prints the values of variables, not their names - you'd never see "definedArgument" or "Args" printed.
- B is wrong because
*argscaptures all extra positional arguments as a single tuple, not just the first one (1). - C is wrong because
kwargs["test1"]uses"test1"as a key to look up its value; it prints"Test Passed!", not the string"test1".
Memory tip: Think of *args as a bag of positional extras (always a tuple) and **kwargs as a labeled bag (always a dict). Accessing kwargs["key"] gives you the value, just like any dictionary lookup.
