Node.js - Child Processes

Which of the following is the correct way to import and use fork from the child_process module in Node.js?

Aconst fork = require('child_process').fork();

Bconst { fork } = require('child_process');

Cimport fork from 'child_process';

Dconst fork = require('child_process').Fork;

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall correct import syntax for fork
In Node.js CommonJS, fork is a named export from child_process, so we use destructuring: const { fork } = require('child_process');
Step 2: Analyze each option
const fork = require('child_process').fork(); calls fork() immediately, which is incorrect. import fork from 'child_process'; uses ES module syntax without proper setup. const fork = require('child_process').fork; assigns the function but misses destructuring. const { fork } = require('child_process'); is correct.
Final Answer:
const { fork } = require('child_process'); -> Option B
Quick Check:
Destructure fork from child_process = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Use curly braces to import fork: const { fork } = require(...) [OK]
