cost contains 100:
if cost > 150 :   discount = 0.8 * costelse :   discount = costprint("Your cost is:", discount)

The provided data for this question has an incomplete set of answer options, so we cannot evaluate it as a standard multiple-choice item against a list of alternatives.

First, decipher the intended code behavior: the snippet appears to be Python-like, with a conditional that checks whether cost > 150 to determine discount, followed by printing the final cost.

Key assumption: the variable cost is given as 100 (cost contains 100).

Step-by-step reasoning about the flow if cost = 100:
- Check the condition: cost > 150. Since 100 is not greater than 150, this condition evaluates to False.
- Therefore, the else branch executes: discount = cost. Given cost = 100, this sets discount = 100.
- The next statement is a print: print("Your cost is:", discount). This prints the string "Your cost is:" followed by the value of discount (which is 100). In Python, this would produce the output: Your cost is: 100

Notes about the provided answer options:
- The answer options field is empty, so we cannot determine which of the listed options (if any) corresponds to the code’s output.
- The single proposed output shown in your data, "Your cost is: 100
        Your cost is: 100", suggests a duplicate print or a formatting error, but based on the code given and cost = 100, the actual runtime output should be a single line: "Your cost is: 100".

If the intention was to compare multiple-choice choices, a correct option would state that with cost = 100, the discount remains 100 and the printed line is exactly 'Your cost is: 100'. Any option contradicting this (for example, suggesting a discount of 0.8 * cost or implying two prints) would be incorrect.

In summary, under cost = 100, the code prints: Your cost is: 100, and there should be a single occurrence of that line unless the code structure (not fully shown here) introduces additional prints.
