  Name = "Bob"

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand variable naming and scope
In Ruby, local variables start with lowercase letters, constants start with uppercase. 'name' is local variable, 'Name' is a constant.
Step 2: Check which variable is printed
The code prints 'name', which is "Alice". The constant 'Name' is not used in the puts statement.
Final Answer:
Alice -> Option B
Quick Check:
Local variable 'name' prints "Alice" [OK]

Quick Trick: Local variables lowercase, constants uppercase; puts prints local variable [OK]
