A try-except-else-finally structure controls which messages get printed depending on exceptions. The relevant concepts: how input conversion works (float(), int()), what triggers ZeroDivisionError (division by zero), what triggers ValueError (invalid conversion), and that the else block runs only if no exception occurs, while finally always runs.

Step-by-step reasoning and intermediate steps:
1. First input: tot_cost = float(input(...)). User enters "75". Converting "75" with float() yields tot_cost = 75.0. No exception.
2. Second input: num_items = int(input(...)). User enters "-5". Converting "-5" with int() yields num_items = -5. This is a valid integer conversion, so no ValueError occurs. (Note: ValueError would occur for something like "five" or "3.2" passed to int(), not for a negative integer.)
3. avg_cost = tot_cost / num_items. Compute 75.0 / -5:
   - 75.0 divided by -5 = -15.0.
   - Division by a nonzero number does not raise ZeroDivisionError.
4. Because neither a ValueError nor a ZeroDivisionError was raised during the try block, the except blocks are skipped and the else block runs. The else prints:
   There were no run-time errors!
5. Regardless of exceptions, the finally block always runs and prints:
   We are finally done with this!

Why the correct answer is correct:
- Both inputs converted successfully and the division used a nonzero denominator, so execution reached else and finally. The program prints the else message followed by the finally message on the next line.

Why the other options are incorrect:
- "We are finally done with this!" alone misses the else message.
- "There were no-run time errors!" alone misses the finally message.
- "Number of items cannot be negative!
We are finally done with this!" is incorrect because the code would not raise ValueError for a negative integer; that except branch is misleadingly worded and is not triggered here.

Conclusion: The program prints the two lines (else then finally), which matches the provided answer: "There were no-run time errors!
We are finally done with this!".
