Bash Scripting - Quoting and Expansion

You want to create a bash script that prints the exact string: Path is C:\Program Files\App. Which command inside the script will produce this output correctly?

Aecho Path is C:\\Program Files\\App

Becho 'Path is C:\Program Files\App'

Cecho Path is C:\Program Files\App

Decho "Path is C:\\Program Files\\App"

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand escaping backslashes in bash strings
Backslash is special, so to print one backslash inside double quotes, use two backslashes \\.
Step 2: Analyze each option's output
echo "Path is C:\\Program Files\\App" doubles backslashes inside double quotes, printing correctly. echo 'Path is C:\Program Files\App' uses single quotes but backslash is literal, so output misses doubling. echo Path is C:\Program Files\App and D do not escape spaces or backslashes properly.
Final Answer:
echo "Path is C:\\Program Files\\App" -> Option D
Quick Check:
Double backslash inside quotes prints one backslash = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Double backslash inside "" prints one backslash [OK]
