What is the result of calling `sorted()` on a list of tuples like `[(2,’b’),(1,’a’),(2,’a’)]` by default?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C) Sorted lexicographically: first by first element, then by second. This means the list of tuples will be sorted primarily by the first element in ascending order, and if there are ties, it will then sort by the second element.
