The question asks about the type of x printed out in each iteration of the given Python code.
The code provided is:
my_list = [['tiger', 'lion', 'leopard'], ['camel', 'llama', 'alpaca'], ['zebra', 'donkey', 'wildebeest']]
for x in my_list: print(x)
Let's break it down step-by-step:

Understanding the Structure of my_list :

my_list is a list containing three elements.
Each element in my_list is itself a list of strings.
Therefore, my_list is a list of lists.


Iteration Over my_list :

The for loop iterates over each element in my_list.
In each iteration, x is assigned to one of the elements of my_list, which are lists of strings.


Type of x :

Since each element in my_list is a list, the variable x will be a list in each iteration.
Specifically, x will be a list of strings in each iteration.



Thus, the type of x that is printed out in each iteration is "A list of strings."
The correct multiple-choice option is:

A list of strings
