What is the output of the following Python program? fruit = "banana"letter = fruit[1]print (letter)Question 6Select one:a.bb.ac.nd.banana

To determine the output of the given Python program, let's break down the code step by step.

1. Break Down the Problem

• We have a string variable fruit assigned the value "banana".
• We then use indexing to get the character at position 1 of the string fruit.
• Finally, we print the character stored in the variable letter.

2. Relevant Concepts

In Python, string indexing starts at 0. Therefore:

• fruit[0] refers to the first character of the string (which is 'b').
• fruit[1] refers to the second character of the string (which is 'a').

3. Analysis and Detail

• The string is "banana", and its indices are as follows:
  • 0 → 'b'
  • 1 → 'a'
  • 2 → 'n'
  • 3 → 'a'
  • 4 → 'n'
  • 5 → 'a'

Thus, when we execute letter = fruit[1], letter is assigned the value 'a'.

4. Verify and Summarize

When we execute print(letter), it will output the value of letter, which is 'a'.

Final Answer

The output of the program is:

a

Given the options:

• a. bb
• b. ac
• c. nd
• d. banana

The correct answer is none of the provided options match the output exactly; the output should simply be a.
