What will be the output of the following print statement: print("The itsy bitsy spider" , "climbed up" , "the waterspout.")?

The output of the print statement will display all the arguments separated by a space when printed. In this case, the arguments provided are "The itsy bitsy spider", "climbed up", and "the waterspout.".

When using the print function in Python, by default, it separates each argument with a single space. Therefore, the output will combine all three strings with spaces in between them:

1. The first string "The itsy bitsy spider"

2. A space

3. The second string "climbed up"

4. A space

5. The third string "the waterspout."

As a result, the combined output will read: "The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout.", precisely matching the first choice. The other options introduce additional punctuation or change the wording, which does not reflect the actual output of the print statement as written.
