What was the Python programming language named after?

Correct answer A. The BBC comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus

Explanation

Guido van Rossum was reading scripts of Monty Python's Flying Circus when he started implementing the language, and he wanted a name that was short, unique and slightly mysterious. The snake logo came later, so naming it after the reptile is a popular but incorrect assumption.
