What is the correct way to create a string literal that includes a backslash character in C#?

Astring path = @"C:\Users\Admin";

Bstring path = "C:\Users\Admin";

Cstring path = "C:\\Users\\Admin";

Dstring path = 'C:\Users\Admin';

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand escaping backslash in string literals
In normal string literals, backslash is an escape character, so to represent a single backslash, you must use two backslashes \\.
Step 2: Analyze options
string path = "C:\\Users\\Admin"; correctly escapes each backslash. string path = "C:\Users\Admin"; is correct because single backslashes escape the next character properly. string path = @"C:\Users\Admin"; uses verbatim string and single backslashes are literal, so this is also correct. string path = 'C:\Users\Admin'; uses single quotes which are for chars, not strings.
Final Answer:
string path = @"C:\Users\Admin"; -> Option A
Quick Check:
Backslash in verbatim string = single backslash [OK]

Quick Trick: Escape backslash with double \\ in normal strings or use verbatim strings [OK]
