The correct option is B: The strip () method on line 1 will strip away the extra whitespace.

Explanation:

If a user enters two extra spaces at the end of a phone number, the code at line 1 will strip away the extra whitespace.

phone_number = input ("Enter phone number: "). strip ()

The strip () method is a built-in string method of Python that return a copy of the string with the leading and trailing characters removed.

In this case; it removed the two extra spaces entered by the user.
