AThe program throws an error
BThe loop body executes once
CThe loop body does not execute at all
DThe loop runs infinitely
Step-by-Step Solution

    The while loop runs only if the condition is true at the start of each iteration.
  2. Step 2: Analyze the case when condition is false initially

    If the condition is false before the loop starts, the loop body is skipped entirely.
  3. Final Answer:

    The loop body does not execute at all -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Initial false condition = no loop execution [OK]
Quick Trick: While loops skip if condition false at start [OK]

  • Assuming loop runs once even if false
  • Thinking it throws error
