NumPy - Array Operations

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

import numpy as np
arr = np.array([1, 2, 3])
result = arr + '5'
print(result)

ACannot add string scalar to numeric array

BArray is not defined

CMissing import statement

DSyntax error in addition

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify data types involved in addition
arr is numeric array, '5' is a string scalar. NumPy cannot add string to numbers.
Step 2: Understand error cause
Adding string to numeric array causes TypeError because types mismatch.
Final Answer:
Cannot add string scalar to numeric array -> Option A
Quick Check:
Scalar type must match array type [OK]

Quick Trick: Scalar must be number, not string, for numeric arrays [OK]
