Python identifiers follow some basic rules:
1. They can include letters, numbers, and underscores.
2. They cannot start with a number.
3. Keywords like "if" cannot be used.
4. Identifiers are case-sensitive.
Of the given options, valid Python identifiers include: total1234, _abc_abc_, _p. Invalid ones include: 123total (can't start with number), java2share (contains special character), ca$h (contains special character), def (is a keyword).
