Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
An if selection statement executes only if the Boolean condition evaluates to true. If the condition evaluates to false, the statement block following the if statement is simply skipped. Short-circuiting refers to the behavior of logical operators (such as && and ||) in which the second operand is evaluated only if the first operand does not determine the result. However, this is not directly related to the behavior of an if selection statement.
