Which statement will display "Oregon" from the PNW_states list?

1. print(PNW_states[2])

2. print(PNW_states(2))

3. print(PNW_states[1])

4. print(PNW_states[0][2])

The correct answer is: print(PNW_states[1])

The correct answer effectively retrieves and displays "Oregon" from the PNW_states list by referencing the specific index that corresponds to that value. In Python, lists are zero-indexed, meaning that the first item in the list is accessed using index 0, the second item with index 1, and so forth. In this case, if the PNW_states list is structured as follows: - PNW_states[0] could represent "Washington" - PNW_states[1] corresponds to "Oregon" - PNW_states[2] might be "Idaho" Using the index 1 correctly points to "Oregon", which is why this choice will display the desired result. Other methods of calling the list elements, such as using parentheses instead of brackets or incorrect indices, do not yield "Oregon" and instead would return either an error or the wrong state. Thus, this approach demonstrates a fundamental understanding of list indexing in Python programming.
