D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is the Quotient in Python? When two numbers divide with each other, the result is known as the quotient. We can divide two numbers using the ‘//’ operator one can derive the quotient. The remainder is calculated using the ‘%’ operator in Python.

Detailed explanation-2: -The division ( / ) operator produces the quotient of its operands where the left operand is the dividend and the right operand is the divisor.

Detailed explanation-3: -Contents Index. In Python, we can perform floor division (also sometimes known as integer division) using the // operator. This operator will divide the first argument by the second and round the result down to the nearest whole number, making it equivalent to the math.floor() function.

Detailed explanation-4: -In Python, there are two types of division operators: / : Divides the number on its left by the number on its right and returns a floating point value. // : Divides the number on its left by the number on its right, rounds down the answer, and returns a whole number.

Detailed explanation-5: -In Division The number which we divide is called the dividend. The number by which we divide is called the divisor. The result obtained is called the quotient. The number left over is called the remainder.
