Why is Orange().squeeze() is False?

Let's say the Orange() is an instance of class Orange(I don't know if we can create an instance with the same name as class) then the instance should be able to access any method and attribute in that class. Hence, Orange().squeeze() should return has_pulp which it's default value is True.

On the other hand, let's say we can't have an instance that has same name with class, then this code segment should give us exception(error).

All in all, either way, they code should return an error or True. But Why the answer is False ?

It doesn't return False. It's a 'true or false' question about whether it will return True. The 'True' and 'False' in the options are not directly referring to the return value, they're referring to the logic of the question.

This code throws an error, so which is not returning True, so the answer to the question is False.

It's kind of a confusing question.
