(a) A stack named FruitStack, implemented using list, contains records of some fruits. Each record is represented as a dictionary with keys `Name', `Origin', `Price', and `Expiry'. A sample record is given here : ```python {'Name':'Apple','Origin':'France','Price':120, 'Expiry':'12-08-2025'} ``` Write the following user-defined functions in Python to perform the specified operations on FruitStack : (i) push_fruit(FruitStack, Fruit): This function takes the stack FruitStack and a new record Fruit as arguments and pushes the record stored in Fruit onto FruitStack if the Price is less than 100. (ii) pop_fruit(FruitStack): This function pops the topmost record from the stack and returns it. If the stack is already empty, the function should display "UNDERFLOW". (iii) display(FruitStack): This function displays all the elements of the stack starting from the topmost element. If the stack is empty, the function should display `EMPTY STACK'.
