18. Madhwan, is doing internship in “SQUARE Solutions Pvt. Ltd.”. He wrote the following
python code to store student’s data in csv file (Student.csv) handling. Unfortunately, he
forgot some steps of the python code. Please help him to create a CSV File 'Student.csv'
by completing the code.

Student.csv (CSV File)

1, SAKSHAM, XII, A
2, ARNAV, XI, A

3, SHREEVALI, XII, A
4, BHOOMI, XI, A
5, SWARIT, XII, A

The Incomplete Code written by Madhwan is as follows: -

import csv
csvfh = open("Student.csv","w", newline='')
stuwriter = csv._____ #Statement-1
data = []
header = ['ROLL_NO', 'NAME', 'CLASS', 'SECTION']

data.append(header)
for i in range(5):
roll_no = int(input("Enter Roll Number : "))
name = input("Enter Name : ")
Class = input("Enter Class : ")

section = input("Enter Section : ")

rec = [_____] #Statement-2
data.append(rec)
stuwriter. _____ #Statement-3
csvfh.close()

A. Choose the function name (with argument) to complete Statement-1: [1]

a) reader(csvfh) b) reader(MyFile) c) writer(csvfh) d) writer(MyFile)

4
B. Identify the suitable code for Statement-2 : [1]
a) 'ROLL_NO', 'NAME', 'CLASS', 'SECTION' c) 'roll_no','name','Class','section'
b) ROLL_NO, NAME, CLASS, SECTION d) roll_no,name,Class,section
C. Choose the function name that should be used for Statement-3 to create the desired CSV
File. [1]

a) dump(data) b) load(data) c) writerows(data) d) writerow(data)
