Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The original algorithm prints the larger number. Changing the condition from n1 > n2 to n1 < n2 reverses the logic. Now, if n1 is smaller than n2, it prints n1; otherwise, it prints n2. Consequently, the algorithm will always output the smallest of the two numbers, making option C correct.
