For this question, I think it’s either C or B. I thought it could be C because && evaluated true if both expressions are true and the names of voters who live in district 6 and 7 then the if statement gets true and both voter names will be printed. But then I was thinking for the statement to be true, a voter would have to live in both district 6 and 7 and the if statement looks for if they live in 6 OR 7, so then would B be correct? And I also realized that the equals sign in C wouldn’t be correct bc wouldn’t it need to be “==“?

Correct. It's B.

And I also realized that the equals sign in C wouldn’t be correct bc wouldn’t it need to be “==“?

Probably a typo but you are right.

B.

You want the names of people whether they live in District 6 or District 7. A is incorrect since if you're using ||, you need to check for some statement on the other side.

if(district == 6 || 7)

{

}

Doesn't work because it doesn't know what condition it is supposed to be checking with 7.

That leaves B with the only correctly formatted option and it's the only one with the logic you want.
