Which of the following is the correct syntax for a LINQ query using select to get only the names from a list of Person objects?

Avar names = from p in people select p.Name;

Bvar names = from p in people where p.Name;

Cvar names = from p in people orderby p.Name select p;

Dvar names = from p in people group p by p.Name;

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify correct select syntax
The correct syntax to project only the Name property is select p.Name.
Step 2: Check other options for errors
var names = from p in people where p.Name; uses where incorrectly without a condition. var names = from p in people orderby p.Name select p; selects whole object, not just names. var names = from p in people group p by p.Name; groups data, not selects.
Final Answer:
var names = from p in people select p.Name; -> Option A
Quick Check:
Select projects properties correctly [OK]

Quick Trick: Select clause syntax: from x in y select x.Property [OK]
