Answer: Python Puzzler #38

The answer is B. The program prints:

coder-coder-

Checked by running the program for real.

Multiplying a string by a number repeats it. * 2 makes 2 copies, joined together with nothing in between (the ‘-‘ is part of each copy).

word = "coder"
print((word + "-") * 2)

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