Final answer:

The given Python code snippet will output 'c. Your birthday is: February 08, 1998 (Sunday)' by formatting the date using the strftime method with the proper format directives for month name, day, year, and weekday name.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked what the following Python code snippet would display:

from datetime import datetime
birthday = datetime(1998, 2, 8)
birthday = birthday.strftime("%B %d, %Y (%A)")
print("Your birthday is:", birthday)

The strftime method formats the datetime object to a string based on the provided format directives. The directives %B, %d, %Y, and %A represent the full month name, zero-padded day, four-digit year, and full weekday name, respectively. Thus, the correct output that the code will print is:

c. Your birthday is: February 08, 1998 (Sunday)
