Ruby - Basics and Runtime

Adef my_method() puts 'Hello' end

Bdef my_method; puts 'Hello'; end

Cmethod my_method() => puts 'Hello'

Dfunction my_method() { puts 'Hello' }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall Ruby method syntax
Ruby methods start with 'def' and end with 'end'. The semicolon can separate statements on one line.
Step 2: Check each option
def my_method; puts 'Hello'; end uses correct syntax. function my_method() { puts 'Hello' } is JavaScript style. method my_method() => puts 'Hello' is invalid. def my_method() puts 'Hello' end is valid Ruby syntax if 'puts' and 'end' are on separate lines, but as written without newline or semicolon before 'end' is invalid.
Final Answer:
def my_method; puts 'Hello'; end -> Option B
Quick Check:
Ruby method syntax = def ... end [OK]
