Which of the following is the correct syntax to initialize a dictionary with keys and values in C#?

Avar dict = new Dictionary<int, string> { 1: "One", 2: "Two" };

Bvar dict = new Dictionary<int, string> (1: "One", 2: "Two");

Cvar dict = new Dictionary<int, string> { (1, "One"), (2, "Two") };

Dvar dict = new Dictionary<int, string> { {1, "One"}, {2, "Two"} };

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall dictionary initialization syntax
Dictionaries use curly braces with key-value pairs inside another set of braces: { {key, value}, ... }.
Step 2: Check each option
var dict = new Dictionary { {1, "One"}, {2, "Two"} }; uses correct syntax with nested braces for each pair. Others use invalid syntax for C# dictionaries.
Final Answer:
var dict = new Dictionary { {1, "One"}, {2, "Two"} }; -> Option D
Quick Check:
Dictionary init = nested braces for pairs [OK]

Quick Trick: Use double braces for dictionary key-value pairs [OK]
