Selected Answer: C
If the file is named 'existing_file' (with underscore), but Python tries to open 'existing file' (with space), then: There is no such file. But the mode is 'w' → write mode. Write mode does not care if the file exists — it just creates a new one if missing. So no error happens. Python will silently create a new empty file named 'existing file'. Hence, the output will still be: 1 3

The try block executes successfully as the file exists and is opened in write mode. The code prints 1 from the try block and 3 from the else block, resulting in the output 1 3.
