-

B

C
import pep -
D
import this
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
A.
This is incorrect. The Zen of Python is also known as PEP 20, but import pep20 is not a valid command to display the Zen of Python. PEP (Python Enhancement Proposals) are documents that describe new features or changes in Python, but they are not imported in this manner.
B.
This is incorrect. While "Zen" refers to the Zen of Python, there is no module named zen in Python that would reveal the aphorisms.
C.
This is incorrect. PEP documents (like PEP 8, PEP 20, etc.) are not modules and cannot be imported with import pep. Therefore, this command would not display the Zen of Python.
D.
This is the correct answer. When you type import this in a Python console, it displays "The Zen of Python," which is a collection of aphorisms that capture the philosophy of Python programming. This is an Easter Egg included in Python, written by Tim Peters.
