BTo store multiple values in a list
CTo make decisions and run code only when certain conditions are true
DTo define a function
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand the purpose of conditional statements

    Conditional statements check if something is true or false to decide what code to run.

  2. Step 2: Compare with other options

    Repeating code is done by loops, storing values is done by lists, and defining functions uses def.

  3. Final Answer:

    To make decisions and run code only when certain conditions are true -> Option C

  4. Quick Check:

    Conditional statements = decision making [OK]
Quick Trick: Think: 'Should I run this code or not?' [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing conditionals with loops
  • Thinking conditionals store data
  • Mixing conditionals with function definitions
