NumPy - Broadcasting

Examine the following code:

import numpy as np
arr1 = np.ones((4,2))
arr2 = np.ones((2,4))
result = arr1 + arr2

What issue will arise when executing this code?

ATypeError because arrays have different data types

BNo error; arrays will broadcast and add correctly

CValueError due to incompatible shapes for broadcasting

DSyntaxError due to incorrect numpy import

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check shapes
arr1 has shape (4,2), arr2 has shape (2,4).
Step 2: Apply broadcasting rules
Broadcasting compares dimensions from the end: 2 vs 4 (not equal and neither is 1), so broadcasting fails.
Final Answer:
ValueError due to incompatible shapes for broadcasting -> Option C
Quick Check:
Dimension mismatch without 1 in either dimension causes error [OK]

Quick Trick: Broadcasting requires matching or 1 in dimensions [OK]
