The code generates a random number and prints each color from the list followed by an asterisk (*) repeated a random number of times. The correct output is (b).

The provided Python code generates a random integer, `myNumber`, between 0 and 3. It then iterates through the elements of the `COLOR` list, which contains four color strings.

For each color, it prints the color string followed by an asterisk (*) repeated a random number of times (between 1 and `myNumber`). The output will vary each time the code is executed due to the random nature of `myNumber`.

The correct option is (b), where each color is followed by an asterisk repeated a number of times based on the random value of `myNumber`. The other options do not accurately reflect the output of the code.

The complete question is:

What possible outputs(s) will be obtained when the following code is executed?

import random myNumber=random.randint(0,3) COLOR=["YELLOW", "WHITE", "BLACK", "RED"]

for I in COLOR:

for J in range(1,myNumber): print (I, end="*")

print ()

Options:

a.

RED*

WHITE*

BLACK*

RED*

b.

YELLOW*

WHITE*

BLACK*

RED*

c.

WHITE* WHITE*

YELLOW* YELLOW*

BLACK* BLACK*

RED* RED*

d.
