Question

Which of the following Python statements will be used to select a specific element having index as points, from a Pandas Series named ser?

• A. ser.element(points)
• B. ser.select(points)
• C. ser[points]
• D. ser.show[points]

Hint:

Use ser.loc[points] for explicit label-based indexing; ser[points] also works if the index is labelled.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In Python’s pandas library, the simplest way to select a single element from a Series using its index label is with square bracket notation.
ser[points] selects the element in the Series ser whose index matches points.
- ser.element() and ser.select() are not valid pandas methods for direct indexing.
- ser.show[] is not a valid attribute or method either.
Therefore, the correct and standard syntax is ser[points].
