How many times will the MessageBox.Show method in the following code be processed? For intNum As Integer = 5 To 1 Step -1 MessageBox.Show(“Hi”) Next intNum

The correct answer is B. 5.

The For loop will iterate from 5 to 1, with a step size of -1. This means that the loop will execute 5 times, with the value of intNum being 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. The MessageBox.Show method will be called once for each value of intNum.

Option A is incorrect because the loop will only execute 5 times. Option C is incorrect because the loop will only execute 4 times. Option D is incorrect because the loop will only execute 7 times.
