Reiterating the problem: we need a conditional statement that confirms the entered month is valid as a two-digit month value (1 through 12). Option 1: if month >= 1 or month <= 12: - This uses the logical OR operator. Because every integer is either greater than or equal to 1 or less than or equal to 12 (and there are integers that satisfy one side or the other), this condition ends up being true for all possible integers. In other words, it does not restrict the input to the 1–12 range at all. Therefore, this is an incorrect check for a valid month. Option 2: if month >= 1 and month <= 12: - This uses the logical AND operator to require the value to be simultaneously greater than or equal to 1 AND less than or equal to 12. This precisely defines the inclusive range [1, 12], which corresponds to valid calendar months. It correctly excludes numbers outside 1–12 and includes both endpoints. This is the proper way to validate a month value in the typical scenario described. Option 3: if month > 1 or month < 12: - This condition uses OR with strict inequalities. Because any month value either is greater than 1 or less than 12 (or both), almost all integers satisfy at least one of these clauses. Specifically, 1 would satisfy month < 12, and 12 would satisfy month > 1, making the condition true for 1 and 12 as well. Consequently, this does not restrict input to 1–12 and is not a correct validation. Option 4: if month > 1 and month < 12: - This uses AND with strict inequalities, yielding the range (1, 12), i.e., 2 through 11. That excludes the boundary months 1 and 12, which are valid months. Therefore, this is too restrictive and not a correct validation for all valid months. Summary of correctness reasoning: - The correct approach should validate the inclusive range 1 to 12 using both lower and upper bounds together, i.e., month >= 1 and month <= 12. Any use of OR that broadens the condition will fail to filter out invalid numbers, and using exclusive inequalities excludes valid edge cases (1 and 12).
