The true statement among the options provided is: A name error occurs if the variable is referenced before it is declared.

Here's a brief explanation for the other statements:

A name error does not occur if a colon is put in the wrong place. This typically results in a syntax error.
An else statement requires a corresponding if statement; thus, using an else without an if would also result in a syntax error, not a name error.
Using two equals signs (==) instead of one (=) is a mistake in the context of assignment versus comparison, resulting in a logical error or potentially a syntax error, but not a name error.

So, the first statement regarding name errors is the only correct one in this context.
