How can you modify this nested loop to stop both loops when $i equals 2 and $j equals 3?

for ($i=1; $i -le 3; $i++) {
  for ($j=1; $j -le 5; $j++) {
    if ($i -eq 2 -and $j -eq 3) { break }
    Write-Output "$i,$j"
  }
}

AUse a labeled break with a loop label to exit both loops.

BReplace break with continue to skip the iteration.

CAdd a flag variable and check it after inner loop to break outer loop.

DUse multiple break statements, one for each loop.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand break behavior in nested loops
Break only exits the innermost loop, so it won't stop the outer loop.
Step 2: Use a labeled break with a loop label to exit both loops
Prefix outer loop with :outer like :outer for ($i=1; $i -le 3; $i++) { for ($j=1; $j -le 5; $j++) { if ($i -eq 2 -and $j -eq 3) { break outer } Write-Output "$i,$j" } }.
Final Answer:
Use a labeled break with a loop label to exit both loops. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Labeled break for nested exit = C [OK]

Quick Trick: Use :outer before outer loop, break outer [OK]
