Hmm, I'm not sure about C. I've never seen a file get created automatically like that. And D, really? Why would you think you can't write to the file? That's just silly.

I think C is also correct. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created when you try to open it. But D is wrong - you can definitely write to the file using the 'str' variable.

A and B are correct. The 'rt' mode stands for 'read text', which means the file will be opened for reading and any newline characters will be translated.
