Ruby - Variables and Data Types

How does Ruby's dynamic typing help when processing mixed data types in a list?
Example:

items = [10, "hello", 3.14, true]

AYou must convert all items to the same type before processing.

BYou can iterate and call methods on each item without type errors if methods exist.

CRuby will raise errors when different types are mixed in a list.

DYou need to declare the type of each item before adding to the list.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand dynamic typing with collections
Ruby allows arrays to hold mixed types without restrictions.
Step 2: Processing mixed types
You can call methods on each item if those methods exist for that type, avoiding errors.
Final Answer:
You can iterate and call methods on each item without type errors if methods exist. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Dynamic typing supports mixed-type collections [OK]

Quick Trick: Mixed types in arrays are allowed and flexible [OK]
