The algorithm below is used to simulate the results of flipping a coin 4 times. Consider the goal of determining whether the simulation resulted in an equal number of heads and tails.

Step 1: Initialize the variables heads_counter and flip_counter to 0.

Step 2: A variable coin_flip is randomly assigned a value of either 0 or 1. If coin_flip has the value 0, the coin flip result is heads, so heads_counter is incremented by 1.

Step 3: Increment the value of flip_counter by 1.

Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until flip_counter equals 4.

Following the execution of the algorithm, which of the following expressions indicates that the simulation resulted in an equal number of heads and tails?

A. coin_flip = 1

B. flip_counter = 1

C. flip_counter = 2

D. heads_counter = 2
