Which function call would cause an error?

The correct answer indicates that the function call would cause an error due to the order of parameters being incorrect if the function print_product is defined to expect specific positional arguments.

In many programming scenarios, particularly in languages like Python, functions can take parameters in a specific sequence, especially when they are defined as positional parameters. If, for instance, print_product is designed to take the parameters in the order of product_name, product_id, and then cost (or a similar arrangement), then placing the numerical cost before the product ID disrupts the expected parameter order. This would lead to a situation where the function is unable to properly interpret what values correspond to which parameters, resulting in an error.

The other function calls adhere to the expected parameter structure. The first option follows the assumed correct order, while the third option uses keyword arguments, which allows the parameters to be specified out of order without causing an error. The fourth option, also using keyword arguments, is similarly structured to prevent any parameter order issues. Thus, it's the second function call that breaks this convention, leading to the error condition.
