Here in dictionary for most of the we have 5 names in Values of dictionary keys. While we get d.items() method it takes key value pairs as tuples and it is checking for maximum values and gives the key.

If we have strings for keys and lists the d.items will not give values every time in the same order.If the sizes are different we will get highesh value if we have same size then we will get which value is there at first maximum index while calculating d.items()
