PowerShell - Working with Objects

What will be the output of this PowerShell code?

$obj = New-Object PSObject -Property @{Name='John'}
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType ScriptMethod -Name GetGreeting -Value { "Hello, $($this.Name)!" }
$obj.GetGreeting()

AHello, $($this.Name)!

BHello, John!

CError: Method not found

DHello, !

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand object and method creation
$obj has a property Name='John' and a ScriptMethod GetGreeting that returns a greeting using $this.Name.
Step 2: Evaluate method call output
Calling $obj.GetGreeting() runs the script block, replacing $this.Name with 'John', so output is 'Hello, John!'.
Final Answer:
Hello, John! -> Option B
