Explanation

The Python code iterates four times, printing elements from the list my_list using negative indexing to access elements from the end backward.

Common mistakes.

A. The code retrieves positive integer values from the list, not negative ones, and accesses them from the end, not starting from -1.
C. This output would occur if positive indexing were used or the list was traversed in a different order, which is not what my_list[-(x+1)] achieves.
D. The elements in my_list are positive numbers, and the negative indexing only dictates position, not the sign of the retrieved value.
