if value.nil?
  puts "Falsy"
else

Step 1: Understand what 'value.nil?' checks
The method value.nil? returns true only if value is nil, but here value is false.
Step 2: Correct falsy check
Since false is also falsy, use if !value to check both false and nil.
Final Answer:
Should check 'if !value' instead of 'value.nil?' -> Option C

Falsy check needs if !value [OK]

Quick Trick: value.nil? misses false, use if !value [OK]
