Answer 1

The program contains a **data type mismatch** error.

The issue arises on the line:
```python
print("You are " + age + " years old.")
```

Here, `age` is an integer (the result of `int(input(...))`), but the `+` operator is being used to concatenate it with a string. This will result in a `TypeError` because you cannot directly concatenate a string and an integer in Python.

To fix this, you could convert `age` back to a string using `str(age)`, like this:

```python
print("You are " + str(age) + " years old.")
```

So the correct answer is **data type mismatch**.
