easy📝 Syntax Q3 of 15

PowerShell - Cmdlets and Pipeline

AGet-Service | Where-Object Status == 'Stopped'

BGet-Service | Where-Object { $_.Status = 'Stopped' }

CGet-Service | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq 'Stopped' }

DGet-Service | Where-Object { Status -eq 'Stopped' }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand correct comparison operator
PowerShell uses -eq for equality comparison inside script blocks.
Step 2: Correct syntax for property access
Inside Where-Object, use $_ to reference the current object and its properties.
Step 3: Evaluate options
Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq 'Stopped' } correctly uses $_ and -eq. Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Status = 'Stopped' } uses assignment = instead of comparison. Get-Service | Where-Object Status == 'Stopped' uses invalid syntax without script block. Get-Service | Where-Object { Status -eq 'Stopped' } omits $_ which is required.
Final Answer:
Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq 'Stopped' } -> Option C
Quick Check:
Use -eq and $_ inside script block [OK]

Quick Trick: Use $_.Property -eq 'value' inside Where-Object [OK]
