I'm going with A, csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL. It's the safe default option when you don't define the quoting argument, right?

Haha, option C doesn't even exist! 'svQUOTE_ALL'? Sounds like someone made that one up.

I know right, 'svQUOTE_ALL' doesn't make any sense.

I'm pretty sure it's D, csv.QUOTE_NONNUMERIC. Why would we want to quote everything when we're not specifying the quoting argument?

I'm not sure, but I think it makes sense that the default would be to not quote anything if not specified.

I agree with Elenore, because if you do not define the quoting argument, it will default to csv.QUOTE_NONE.

Hmm, I think it's option B, csv.QUOTE_NONE. That makes sense since we're not defining the quoting argument, so it should use the default behavior.
