Answer: F

Explanation:

Topic: CPython

Guido van Rossum used the "C" programming language to implement the very first version of his language and this decision is still in force.

All Pythons coming from the PSF (Python Software Foundation)

are written in the "C" language.

There are many reasons for this approach.

One of them (probably the most important) is that thanks to it, Python may be easily ported and migrated to all platforms with the ability to compile and run "C" language programs (virtually all platforms have this feature,

which opens up many expansion opportunities for Python).

This is why the PSF implementation is often referred to as CPython. This is the most influential Python among all the Pythons in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPython
