Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
logging.disable(logging.CRITICAL + 1)
Why this is correct
This disables all logs below the provided level.
- ✗
logging.basicConfig(level=0)
Why it's wrong here
Level 0 corresponds to NOTSET, which usually defaults to WARNING.
- ✗
logging.disable(logging.CRITICAL)
Why it's wrong here
This still allows CRITICAL level logs.
- ✗
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.NOTSET)
Why it's wrong here
NOTSET means no level is set; it inherits from parents or behaves as 0.
