Answer: Python Puzzler #3425

The answer is A. The program prints:

True

This answer was checked by running the program for real.

Why?

First Python works out each side: 1 > 5 is False and 5 < 6 is True. or is True only if at least one side is True.

Trace table

A trace table follows the program step by step. Here’s this one:

partvalue
1 > 5False
5 < 6True

The code again

print(1 > 5 or 5 < 6)

Try it: change one number in the program and predict the new output before you run it.
