A system categorizes students based on their marks as follows: Marks Range Category Table (Rendered in LaTeX):

0 \le \text{Marks} < 40 \implies

Fail

40 \le \text{Marks} < 60 \implies

Pass

60 \le \text{Marks} < 80 \implies

Good

80 \le \text{Marks} \le 100 \implies

Excellent Which of the following snippets correctly computes and prints the category after accepting the marks as input? Assume that the input entered by the user will be an integer and will lie only in the range

[0, 100]

. Snippet-1: marks = int(input()) ``` A system categorizes students based on their marks as follows: Marks Range Category Table (Rendered in LaTeX):
