Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
In Python, arithmetic operations follow precedence rules:

Multiplication (*) has higher precedence than addition (+).

So, the expression 2 + 3 * 4 is evaluated as:

First, perform the multiplication: 3 * 4 = 12

Then, add 2 to the result: 2 + 12 = 14

Therefore, the result of 2 + 3 * 4 is 14.
