Explanation

To execute a run: block as Python, you use shell: python on line 5. This instructs the GitHub Actions runner to pass the multi-line script block to the Python interpreter rather than the default shell (bash on Linux/macOS, PowerShell on Windows). Options B (working-directory) and D (with) serve entirely different purposes and do not affect interpreter selection. Option C (shell: bash) would attempt to run the Python import statement as a bash command, causing an error.
