Astr_replace('dog', 'cat', $text);

Breplace('cat', 'dog', $text);

Cstr_replace($text, 'cat', 'dog');

Dstr_replace('cat', 'dog', $text);

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check the correct parameter order of str_replace()
The correct order is str_replace(search, replace, subject). So 'cat' is search, 'dog' is replace, $text is subject.
Step 2: Validate each option
str_replace('cat', 'dog', $text); matches correct order. replace('cat', 'dog', $text); uses a non-existent function. str_replace($text, 'cat', 'dog'); swaps parameters incorrectly. str_replace('dog', 'cat', $text); swaps search and replace.
Final Answer:
str_replace('cat', 'dog', $text); -> Option D
Quick Check:
str_replace(search, replace, subject) [OK]

Quick Trick: Remember parameter order: search, replace, then subject [OK]
