What will be printed when the following algorithm is processed? COUNTER = 0 DISTRIBUTION = 500 WHILE DISTRIBUTION 200 AND COUNTER

Question

What will be printed when the following algorithm is processed?
 COUNTER = 0
DISTRIBUTION = 500
WHILE DISTRIBUTION > 200 AND COUNTER < 5
GIVEAWAY = DISTRIBUTION * .5
PRINT GIVEAWAY
DISTRIBUTION = DISTRIBUTION - GIVEAWAY
COUNTER = COUNTER + 1
WHILE-END
A)250
B)250,125
C)150,125,62.5
D)None of the above

The loop runs twice. In the first iteration, GIVEAWAY is 250 (500 * 0.5), and in the second iteration, it is 125 (250 * 0.5). The loop stops after the second iteration because DISTRIBUTION becomes 125, which is not greater than 200.
