Academic integrity distinguishes permitted guidance (discussion, debugging hints, conceptual explanation) from impermissible collaboration (submitting another person’s code as your own).

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Collaboration vs. individual authorship: You may discuss ideas with others, but the assessable submission must be your own independent work. 
- Plagiarism/collusion: Submitting another person’s code, or code substantially derived from someone else without attribution, is a breach. 
- Acknowledgement and documentation: When external help influenced your work, some courses require you to declare it.

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- If a student asks another student or an external person for help that only explains concepts or points out bugs, and the student writes all code themselves, this is consistent with permitted assistance. 
- If the student submits code that was written (copied or heavily adapted) by someone else, it becomes collusion/plagiarism regardless of who provided it. 
- Renaming variables to disguise copied code does not change authorship; academic misconduct detectors and manual review can still identify origin and intent.

3. Intermediate logical steps (no numeric calculations)
- Help type A: conceptual guidance → student writes code → allowed.
- Help type B: someone writes or supplies full/partial assessable code → student submits it → not allowed.
- Cosmetic edits (variable renaming) do not transform disallowed B into allowed A.

4. Why the correct answers are correct
- Both selected options state the same core requirement: help is allowed from peers or external third parties only if the student still authored the assessable code. That reflects the correct boundary between allowed assistance and academic misconduct.

5. Why the other options are incorrect
- Changing variable names to obtain partial credit is incorrect and unethical: it’s an attempt to disguise copying rather than a legitimate remedy and remains misconduct. 
- Limiting allowed help only to University tutors is incorrect because policies typically allow a range of permitted assistance sources so long as independent authorship is maintained (though specific course rules may vary).

6. Conclusion
Therefore the two selected statements are correct: peer help and external third-party help are allowed only when the student still wrote the whole assessable code individually. This matches the provided answer.
