Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand Write-Output behavior
Write-Output always displays output regardless of parameters.
Step 2: Understand Write-Verbose behavior
Write-Verbose messages only display when the script is run with -Verbose.

All messages including verbose ones are displayed -> Option B
