What will be the output of this script?

for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  if [ "$i" -eq 3 ]; then
    continue
  fi
  echo $i
done

A1 2 3 4 5

B1 2

C3

D1 2 4 5

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand continue effect in the loop
When i equals 3, continue skips the rest of that iteration, so echo $i is not run for 3.
Step 2: Identify printed values
All values except 3 are printed: 1, 2, 4, 5.
Final Answer:
1 2 4 5 -> Option D
Quick Check:
continue skips printing 3 = B [OK]
