Python - Constructors and Object Initialization

Why does this code cause an error?

class Animal:
    def __init__(self, species):
        species = species

a = Animal('Cat')
print(a.species)

Aprint statement syntax error

BConstructor missing self parameter

Cspecies is not assigned to self.species

DClass name should be lowercase

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check attribute assignment
species = species assigns parameter to itself, not to object.
Step 2: Understand attribute access
self.species is not set, so print(a.species) causes error.
Final Answer:
species is not assigned to self.species -> Option C
Quick Check:
Assign to self.attribute to store value [OK]

Quick Trick: Assign parameters to self.attribute to save them [OK]
