The "--version" flag is a built-in option for the admin script that is used to display the version information of Django. When you include this flag, Django's version number is printed on the console.
This command is helpful when you want to check the exact version of Django installed on your system, which can be essential when troubleshooting or when dealing with compatibility issues between different Django versions.
