Which function or operator should you use to obtain the answer True or False to the question "Do two variables refer to the same object?"
The correct answer is D. The is function. To determine if two variables refer to the same object in Python, you should use the 'is' operator. The 'is' operator checks for object identity, meaning it returns 'True' if both variables point to the same object in memory.
