import random
items = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
random.shuffle(items)
print(items)

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand random.shuffle behavior
random.shuffle rearranges the list elements in place randomly. It does not return a new list.
Step 2: Analyze the print output
After shuffling, printing items shows the same list but with elements in random order. So output is a shuffled list, not the original order or a single item.
Final Answer:
A randomly shuffled list of the original items -> Option D
