Answer: B

Explanation:

Topics: for range() str() multiply operator string concatenation

Try it yourself:

for i in range(1, 6):

print(str(i) * 5)

You need range (1, 6)

because the start value 1 is inclusive and the end value 6 is exclusive. To get the same numbers next to each other (without a space between them) you need to make a string and then use the multiply operator string concatenation

The standard separator of the print() function is one space. print(i, i, i, i, i) gives you one space between each number. It would work with print(i, i, i, i, i, sep=”) but that answer is not offered here.
