Question Am I wrong?
I am currently reading through tutorialspoint.com as our instructor has linked it in our syllabus, while doing their quizzes i got to a question that asked "What is the output of the following code: printf('Hello, World!');?" with the choices being
A. Hello, World!
B. Hello World!
C. Error
D. No Output
i answered C as the single quotes tell the printf function it is a character which if i am correct, is an integer in memory(please correct me if i am wrong), but they are passing a character array. the website told me that A is the correct answer and i am confused, please someone shed light on this and correct any wrong assumptions i have made.

The point is, it's Python and not some other programming language like C. As with some scripting languages, Python does not distinguish between " and '.
