NumPy - Creating Arrays

What is wrong with this code?

import numpy as np
arr = np.arange(5, 2, 1)
print(arr)

AIt raises a ValueError

BIt produces an empty array

CIt produces [5, 4, 3]

DIt produces [2, 3, 4, 5]

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze start, stop, and step values
Start=5, stop=2, step=1 means counting up from 5 to less than 2, which is impossible.
Step 2: Understand np.arange behavior
Since step is positive but start > stop, no values satisfy condition, so result is empty array.
Final Answer:
It produces an empty array -> Option B
Quick Check:
Positive step with start > stop gives empty array [OK]

Quick Trick: Positive step needs start < stop to produce values [OK]
