Askipif(sys.platform == 'darwin', reason='Skip on Windows')

Bskipif(sys.platform != 'win32', reason='Skip on Windows')

Cskipif(sys.platform == 'linux', reason='Skip on Windows')

Dskipif(sys.platform == 'win32', reason='Skip on Windows')

Step 1: Identify the platform string for Windows
In Python, sys.platform returns 'win32' on Windows systems.
Step 2: Use the condition to skip only on Windows
The condition sys.platform == 'win32' is True only on Windows, so the test is skipped there.
Final Answer:
skipif(sys.platform == 'win32', reason='Skip on Windows') -> Option D
Quick Check:
Windows platform check = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Use sys.platform=='win32' to detect Windows in skipif [OK]
