Which of the following statements a), b) or c) is false?
A) The following session defines a maximum function that determines and returns the largest of three values-then calls the function three times with integers, floating-point numbers and strings, respectively. In [1]: def maximum(value1, value2, value3):
)..: """Return the maximum of three values."""
)..: max_value = value1
)..: if value2 max_value:
)..: max_value = value2
)..: if value3 max_value:
)..: max_value = value3
)..: return max_value
)..:
In [2]: maximum(12, 27, 36)
Out[2]: 36
In [3]: maximum(12.3, 45.6, 9.7)
Out[3]: 45.6
In [4]: maximum('yellow', 'red', 'orange')
Out[4]: 'yellow'
B) You also may call maximum with mixed types, such as ints and floats: In [5]: maximum(13.5, -3, 7)
Out[5]: 13.5
C) The call maximum(13.5, 'hello', 7) results in TypeError because strings and numbers cannot be compared to one another with the greater-than () operator.
D) All of the above statements are true.

All the statements provided are true. Statement A correctly describes a function that can find the maximum of three values, whether they are integers, floats, or strings, and demonstrates its use with examples. Statement B is true because Python allows comparison between ints and floats directly. Statement C is also true because attempting to compare a string with a number using the greater-than operator would indeed result in a TypeError, as Python does not allow direct comparison between these data types with such operators.
