NumPy - Broadcasting

The following code throws an error. What is the cause?

import numpy as np
np.broadcast_shapes((3, 2), (2, 3))

AShapes are not compatible for broadcasting

BFunction broadcast_shapes does not exist

CTuples must be of same length

DMissing import statement

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check broadcasting rules for shapes (3, 2) and (2, 3)
Compare from right: 2 vs 3 are different and neither is 1, so incompatible.
Step 2: Confirm error cause
Since shapes cannot broadcast, numpy.broadcast_shapes raises ValueError.
Final Answer:
Shapes are not compatible for broadcasting -> Option A
Quick Check:
Broadcast dims must be equal or 1 [OK]

Quick Trick: Check dims right to left; mismatch without 1 causes error [OK]
