What should the missing code be in the following algorithm if the goal is to determine how many seconds the algorithm runs? start = time.time()
MyCount = 1
For x in range(100) :
MyCount *= x
Elapsed = time.time() - < missing code >

B) elapsed
C) start
D) x

In order to determine the elapsed time, we need to subtract the starting time from the time at the end of the loop. Therefore, we need to subtract the start time (which is recorded using `time.time()`) from the ending time, which is represented by `time.time()` at the end of the loop.
