Final answer:

The code initializes variables x and y, calculates their sum, and updates the value of x. The correct print statement is option b, which will give the value of x as 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code snippet given initializes two variables, x with a value of 3 and y with a value of 6. It then calculates the sum of x and y and stores it in a variable named sum. After that, it updates the value of x by adding 5 to sum.

If you place the print(x) statement after this code, it will print the value of x, which is 3.

The correct option for the print statement is b. print(x) would give: 3.
