Definitely D, no doubt about it!

Isn't it supposed to be single quotes only?

Wait, why is there a double backslash?

I feel like B is definitely wrong since it doesn't have the quotes around the whole string.

I'm a bit confused about the backslashes. I thought they were only needed for certain characters, but now I'm not so sure.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to escape characters, so I feel like D could be the right choice too.

I think the answer might be A, but I'm not entirely sure about the escaping of the single quotes.

I'm pretty confident that option D is the correct answer. The double quotes around the entire string and the escaped single quotes inside seem to be the right format.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Do I need to escape the backslashes too? This is trickier than I expected.
CA

Okay, I think I've got this. The sentence needs to be enclosed in double quotes, and the single quotes inside need to be escaped with a backslash.
