display(\cold\)
}
choose one answer:
5 10 15 20

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the conditions for "COLD"

The message "COLD" is displayed when the condition number < 10 is met.

Step2: Check each option

• For option \(5\): Since \(5<10\), the condition for "COLD" is satisfied.
• For option \(10\): Since \(10 = 10\), the condition number >= 10 is true, so it will check the inner - if.
• For option \(15\): Since \(15>=10\) and \(15<=20\), it will display "MEDIUM".
• For option \(20\): Since \(20>=10\) and \(20<=20\), it will display "MEDIUM".

Answer:

\(5\)
