Wait, you're telling me I can't just put 'return' inside a class and call it a day? Darn, there goes my plan to write the shortest Python class ever.

Fidelia: Looks like you'll have to add a bit more to your class.

Option D with the curly braces looks a bit strange to me. I thought Python didn't use curly braces for class definitions. Option B is the clear winner here.

Definitely, Option B with 'pass' is the correct way to define a simple class in Python.

Woah, option C with 'return' inside the class? That's definitely not going to work. The class body should be empty or contain some methods and attributes.

Yeah, option C is not valid. It should be either an empty class definition or with methods and attributes inside.

I agree, option C is definitely incorrect. The class body should have methods and attributes, not a return statement.

I was about to choose option A, but then I remembered that Python doesn't require the colon after the class keyword. Option B is the way to go!

Option B is the simplest possible class definition in Python. It's just a class with no body, which is perfectly valid.

I think the answer is B) class X: pass because the pass statement is used as a placeholder for future code. It allows the class definition to be syntactically correct.
