Question

Consider the following code segment:

def f1():
  print("a", end="")
  return "b"

def f2():
  print("c", end="")
  d = f1()
  print(d, end="")
  print("e", end="")

def f3():
  print("f", end="")
  f2()
  print("g", end="")

f3()

What output is generated when it runs?

We start by restating the gist of the code execution to understand the actual output.

First, examine f3: it prints 'f' (with end="" so no newline), then calls f2, and after f2 returns, it prints 'g' (again with no newline).

Next, f2 executes: it prints 'c' (no newline), then calls f1, then prints the value returned by f1 (stored in d), and finally prints 'e'.

Now, what does f1 do? It prints 'a' (no newline) and returns the string 'b'.

Putting the pieces together in the order of execution:
- f3 prints 'f'
- f2 prints 'c'
- f1 prints 'a'
- f1 returns 'b' to f2
- f2 prints the returned value 'b'
- f2 prints 'e'
- f3 resumes and prints 'g'

Concatenating these in sequence yields: f, c, a, b, e, g → fcabeg.

Since all prints use end="" there is no newline inserted, so the output appears as a single line: fcabeg.

Regarding the provided answer options: the array of answer choices is empty in this prompt, so there isn’t a listed alternative to evaluate against. In a typical multiple-choice setup, one would compare the derived output (fcabeg) to the given options to determine which matches. The absence of options means we cannot select among them here, but the actual runtime output of the code is fcabeg.

If you intended to include options, a correct option would need to reflect the exact sequence and characters fcabeg with no trailing newline. Any deviation (such as an extra newline, or an altered character order) would be incorrect.
