string example = @"Path to file: C:\newfolder\file.txt";

AThe backslashes should be doubled inside a verbatim string literal.

In verbatim strings (starting with @), backslashes are treated literally and do not need escaping.
Step 2: Analyze the code
The code uses double backslashes (\\) which is unnecessary and will produce double backslashes in the output.
Final Answer:
The backslashes should not be escaped inside a verbatim string literal. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Verbatim strings treat backslashes literally, no doubling needed. [OK]

Quick Trick: No need to escape backslashes in verbatim strings [OK]
