What is the consequence of incorrectly indenting the code block following an if statement in Python?
Options

B Python will automatically correct the indentation.
C The program will execute the indented code regardless of the condition.
D It will result in a syntax or indentation error, preventing the program from running correctly.
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 15, 'Mistake #2: Colon & Indent', explains: 'Indentation: Python uses whitespace to know what code belongs to the if block.' Incorrect indentation means Python cannot determine the code block, leading to an error.
