Java - Arrays

AString[] fruits = new String{"apple", "banana", "cherry"};

BString[] fruits = new String[]{"apple", "banana", "cherry"};

CString fruits[] = new String[3]{"apple", "banana", "cherry"};

DString fruits = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"};

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand array initialization with values
Java allows two ways to initialize arrays with values: shorthand without new keyword only at declaration, or with new keyword and braces.
Step 2: Check each option
String[] fruits = new String[]{"apple", "banana", "cherry"}; is correct. Other options misuse the new keyword by missing brackets after the type, specifying size with initializer list (invalid syntax), or missing array declaration brackets.
Final Answer:
String[] fruits = new String[]{"apple", "banana", "cherry"}; -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use new Type[]{values} for inline initialization [OK]

Quick Trick: Use new Type[]{values} or shorthand only at declaration [OK]
