Given this advanced function, what will be the output when called as Get-Info -Verbose?

function Get-Info {
  [CmdletBinding()]
  param()
  Write-Verbose "Starting function"
  Write-Output "Info retrieved"
}

AError: Verbose not supported

BStarting function Info retrieved

CInfo retrieved

DNo output

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand Write-Verbose behavior
Write-Verbose outputs messages only if -Verbose is enabled and the host supports it. The function has CmdletBinding, so -Verbose is supported.
Step 2: Check output when called with -Verbose
Calling with -Verbose enables verbose messages, but Write-Verbose output goes to verbose stream, not standard output. Write-Output outputs "Info retrieved" to standard output.
Final Answer:
Info retrieved -> Option C
Quick Check:
Verbose messages do not appear in standard output [OK]

Quick Trick: Write-Verbose outputs to verbose stream, not standard output [OK]
