The function fun is defined to accept zero parameters (def fun():). However, the code attempts to call this function with one positional argument: fun(False). In Python, calling a function with more arguments than it is defined to accept results in a TypeError. Because this error occurs during the function call, the assignment to the variable x never completes, and the print(x) statement is never executed. The program terminates due to this unhandled exception.

A. False: The program errors before any value can be returned or printed. The function call itself is invalid.

B. 0: This is the integer representation of False. The program will raise a TypeError and will not produce any output.

C. 1: This is the integer representation of True. The function call is invalid, so the return True statement is never executed.

E. True: The print(x) statement is never reached because the program terminates with a TypeError on the line x = fun(False).

1. The Python Tutorial (Official Python Documentation):

Section 4.7. More on Defining Functions: This section explains function definitions. The def statement defines a function object. The number of parameters is fixed at definition time.

Section 5. Built-in Exceptions: This section lists TypeError as an exception "raised when an operation or function is applied to an object of inappropriate type. The associated value is a string giving details about the type mismatch." This includes calling a function with the wrong number of arguments.

2. The Python Language Reference (Official Python Documentation):

Section 6.3.4. Calls: This section details the process of calling a function. It states: "If there are more positional arguments than there are formal parameter slots, a TypeError exception is raised." In this case, there is one positional argument (False) but zero formal parameter slots for fun().

3. MIT OpenCourseWare, 6.0001 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python, Fall 2016:

Lecture 3: Functions: This lecture material covers the fundamentals of defining and calling functions, emphasizing that the arguments provided in a function call must match the parameters in the function's definition. A mismatch is a common programming error that results in a TypeError.
