The code you provided is as follows:
```html
<body>
<p> paragraph! </p>
</body>
```
If you run the JavaScript expression `document.body.p`, it's important to clarify how the `document` object and its properties work in relation to accessing elements.
The `document.body` property gets the `<body>` element, but when you attempt to access `document.body.p`, JavaScript will look for a property named `p` directly on the `<body>` element. `<body>` does not have a direct property called `p`, so it will return `undefined`.
To access the `<p>` element inside the `<body>`, you would typically use methods like `getElementsByTagName`, or `querySelector` or other DOM methods. For example:
```javascript
document.body.getElementsByTagName('p')[0] // This would return the <p> element.
document.querySelector('body > p') // This would also return the <p> element.
```
So, the correct answer to what would be printed to the console as a result of the call `document.body.p` is:
**undefined**
```html
<body>
<p> paragraph! </p>
</body>
```
