To answer this question, we need to understand the performance differences between Python, C, and C++.

Option A) Python is faster than C - This option is incorrect because Python is generally slower than C. Python is an interpreted language, which means that it is executed line-by-line at runtime, whereas C is a compiled language that is translated into machine code before execution. This compilation process gives C a performance advantage over Python.

Option B) Python is faster than C++ - This option is incorrect because Python is generally slower than C++. Similar to C, C++ is a compiled language that can be optimized for performance. Python, on the other hand, has a higher level of abstraction and additional features that can impact performance.

Option C) Python is slower than C - This option is correct. As mentioned earlier, Python is generally slower than C due to its interpreted nature. However, it is important to note that Python provides high-level abstractions and a large standard library, which can make it more convenient and productive for certain tasks, even if it sacrifices some performance.

Option D) None of the above - This option is incorrect because option C, "Python is slower than C," is the correct answer.

The correct answer is C) Python is slower than C, as Python is generally slower due to its interpreted nature.

To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) The statement says that the only way to access resources under the /WEB-INF directory is through appropriate servlet mapping directives in the deployment descriptor. This statement is incorrect. The /WEB-INF directory is not accessible to clients directly, but server-side code can access resources in this directory without the need for servlet mapping directives.

Option B) The statement says that server-side code has access to all resources in the web application. This statement is correct. Server-side code, such as servlets or JSPs, has access to all resources within the web application, including files in the /WEB-INF directory.

Option C) The statement says that clients of web applications can't directly access resources in /WEB-INF/tld. This statement is correct. The /WEB-INF directory and its subdirectories are not directly accessible to clients. Therefore, clients cannot directly access resources in /WEB-INF/tld.

Option D) The statement says that a good place to keep a .tld (tag library file) is directly in the /WEB-INF directory. This statement is correct. The /WEB-INF directory is commonly used to store configuration files, including tag library descriptor files (.tld).

To summarize:

Option A) Incorrect - The /WEB-INF directory can be accessed by server-side code without servlet mapping directives. Option B) Correct - Server-side code has access to all resources in the web application. Option C) Correct - Clients cannot directly access resources in /WEB-INF/tld. Option D) Correct - The /WEB-INF directory is a good place to keep a .tld file.

The correct answer is B, C, and D.
