Answer 1

The answer to this question is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason that the answer is B is that in Java, using System.out.print() is going to print a line of code (...) and will not exit to a new line of code while System.out.println() will write to the current line (...) then it will escape to a new line of code.

Input:

System.out.print("The "); //Print to current line

System.out.println("Spartans "); // Print to current line then escape to new line

System.out.println("Rule "); // Print to current line then escape to new line

System.out.print("the South Side. "); // Print to current line

Output:

The Spartans

Rule

the South Side.
