Consider the following Python code: ``python name = 'Peter' age = 23 flag = True `` What are the types of the variables name, age and ag?

The correct answer is B. str, int, bool. Option B is correct because Python assigns types based on the literal value used: single or double quotes create a str, a whole number creates an int, and True/False keywords create a bool - giving name → str, age → int, and flag → bool.

Explanation

Option B is correct because Python assigns types based on the literal value used: single or double quotes create a str, a whole number creates an int, and True/False keywords create a bool - giving name → str, age → int, and flag → bool.

Option A is wrong because float requires a decimal point (e.g., 23.0), and the order of types is also incorrect. Option C is wrong because Python has no char type (unlike C/Java), and True is bool, not int (even though bool is technically a subclass of int, the direct type is bool). Option D is wrong because it classifies flag = True as int - while True == 1 numerically, type(True) returns bool, not int.

Memory tip: Match the literal syntax - quotes → str, bare number → int, True/False (capital first letter) → bool. When in doubt, mentally run type(value) in your head.
