Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Option C (rowcount).

In MySQL-Python connectivity, after executing a SELECT query using a cursor object, the rowcount attribute is used to determine the number of rows fetched or returned by the query. It is an attribute, not a method, so it is used without parentheses.

Example:
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table")
print(cursor.rowcount)

Thus, rowcount gives the number of rows returned by the last executed query.
