Ruby - Hashes

Identify the error in this Ruby hash creation:

data = { :city => "Paris", country: "France", "population" => 2148327, state }

AHash keys cannot mix symbols and strings

BIncorrect symbol syntax for :city

CMissing value for key 'state'

DString keys must use colon syntax

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Keys :city, country, and "population" have values. The key 'state' is written without a value, which is invalid.
Step 2: Identify syntax error
Every key in a hash must have a corresponding value. Missing value for 'state' causes syntax error.
Final Answer:
Missing value for key 'state' -> Option C
Quick Check:
All keys need values in hash = Missing value for key 'state' [OK]

Quick Trick: Every key must have a value; check for missing pairs [OK]
