D, but not really. The options we are shown here do not show what is really happening. When the first function call is made by print(func(1)), [1] is printed (and we are not presented with this result in the options shown) - D is not the full answer. That first function call sends only one argument to func() and a gets a value of 1. b acts like a default paramenter (not requiring that we ever send an argument for b). In the body of the function, that first 1 is appended to b (so the parameter in the function signature is now b=[1]). The second function call print(func(2)) sends 2, positionally, to a which is then appended to b, and the b parameter now contains [1,2]. If we added a third function call func(3), b could become [1,2,3]. However, all of this would change if we sent a 3rd function call that included print(func(3,['a','b','c'])). Now, the values in b ([1,2]) would be overwritten by the new argument for b and the 3 would be appended to the new list, giving us ['a', 'b', 'c', 3]. The tricky part of this snippet is that as long we are using any of the mutable collection data types as a default parameter (lists, sets, or dictionaries), we can have a parameter that retains new values with each call of the function.

@PythonPr The answer will be D because the function put an empty list and a variable named a. On the next line, it told him to add the variable a inside the list. On the next line, it told him that after the operation is completed, return or count back to list b, and then the print command
