Ha! This is a trick question. The code is printing the value of 'b', which is initially set to 10. So the answer must be A.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Isn't the 'min' function supposed to return the smaller of the two numbers? If that's the case, then the output should be 5. C it is!

Okay, let me think about this. The 'min' function is comparing 5 and 20, so it should return 5. That means the output should be 5. I'm going with C.
