PowerShell - Variables and Data Types

You want to list all processes and display their names using $_. Which script correctly uses $_ to achieve this?

AGet-Process | ForEach-Object { Write-Output $Name }

BGet-Process | ForEach-Object { Write-Output $Process.Name }

CGet-Process | ForEach-Object { Write-Output $_ }

DGet-Process | ForEach-Object { Write-Output $_.Name }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand $_ usage in pipeline
$_ refers to the current object, so $_.Name accesses the process name.
Step 2: Evaluate other options
$Name is undefined, $_ alone outputs full object, and $Process is undefined variable.
Final Answer:
Get-Process | ForEach-Object { Write-Output $_.Name } -> Option D
Quick Check:
Use $_.Property to access current pipeline object's property [OK]

Quick Trick: Use $_.Property to get current object's property [OK]
