What is the purpose of the itertools.islice() function when used with generators?
It slices a generator into specified ranges
It checks if a generator is iterable
It initializes the generator function
It generates an infinite sequence of numbers
Answer: Option
Explanation:
itertools.islice() is used to slice a generator into specified ranges, allowing you to extract a portion of the generator's elements without consuming the entire sequence. 
import itertools

def my_generator():
    for i in range(10):
        yield i

# Using itertools.islice() to slice the generator
sliced_generator = itertools.islice(my_generator(), 2, 7)

for value in sliced_generator:
    print(value)
