PowerShell - Error Handling

Which statement about the $Error variable is true?

A$Error only stores the last error that occurred

B$Error clears automatically after each command

C$Error stores errors in a stack with the most recent first

D$Error stores only syntax errors

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall $Error behavior
$Error stores errors in a collection where the most recent error is at the front (index 0).
Step 2: Evaluate each option
$Error stores errors in a stack with the most recent first correctly states the stack-like behavior. $Error only stores the last error that occurred is wrong because $Error stores multiple errors. $Error clears automatically after each command is false; $Error does not clear automatically. $Error stores only syntax errors is incorrect; $Error stores all error types.
Final Answer:
$Error stores errors in a stack with the most recent first -> Option C
Quick Check:
$Error = stack of errors, newest first [OK]

Quick Trick: Newest error is always at $Error[0] in the error stack [OK]
