(B) Searching
(C) Selection
(D) Sequencing - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- C. Selection

{
APPEND (resultList, item)
}
}
Which of the following best describes the contents of resultList after the code segment is
executed? (2)
(A) All elements in inputList1 followed by all elements in inputList2
(B) Only elements that appear in both inputList1 and inputList2
(C) Only elements that appear in either inputList1 or inputList2 but not in both lists
(D) Only elements that appear in inputList1 but not in inputList2 - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- (B) Only elements that appear in both inputList1 and inputList2
