Final answer:

The code contains a syntax error and will not execute. If corrected to multiply every element in a list by 5, 'print(numbers)' would display the modified list. The subject matter is related to programming, specifically list manipulation in Python.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code in question, numbers [10] * 5, is likely intended to multiply the 11th element in the list numbers by 5, but as presented, it contains a syntax error, which means it will not run and therefore will not display anything.

However, if the intention was to multiply every element in a list by 5, the proper code would be [number * 5 for number in numbers], where numbers is a previously defined list. If the code is corrected and executed, the print(numbers) statement will display the entire list numbers with each element modified as per the earlier operation.
