Explanation

In Python, def is the reserved keyword used to define a function - it signals to the interpreter that a function declaration follows, along with its name, parameters, and body.

Option A (fun) is not a keyword in Python; it exists in some other languages like Kotlin but has no meaning in Python. Option C (function) is the keyword used in JavaScript, not Python - a common mix-up for those learning multiple languages simultaneously.

Memory tip: Think of def as short for define - you're defining what the function does. It's also only 3 characters, keeping Python's famously concise syntax in mind.
