Why does this code print only the last value of the list?

hard📝 Conceptual Q10 of 15

Python - For Loop

values = [1, 2, 3]
for v in values:
    pass
print(v)

ABecause pass skips all iterations

BBecause the loop variable retains the last item after loop ends

CBecause print is outside the loop and cannot access v

DBecause the list is empty

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand loop variable scope
In Python, the loop variable keeps the last value after the loop finishes.
Step 2: Analyze the code behavior
Since 'pass' does nothing, the loop runs fully, and print(v) prints the last item.
Final Answer:
Because the loop variable retains the last item after loop ends -> Option B
Quick Check:
