$\times$ infinity

Explanation:

A while loop is an iteration statement. This means that it will keep looping as long as the given while condition results to true.

We've assigned the value 5 into A.

The condition given for the while loop, was that if A was greater than 0, it had to print A and "Thank you".

Since A was greater than 0, it printed the value of A and then printed "Thank you".

Since we haven't specified if the value of A must increment, or that a break should take place, the loop will continue infinite times, because the value of A [which is 5] is always greater than 0.

Therefore, the answer is (iii) infinite.
