Auser = { name: 'Eve', age: 28, email: 'eve@example.com' }

Buser = [ 'name' => 'Eve', 'age' => 28, 'email' => 'eve@example.com' ]

Cuser = { 'name', 'Eve', 'age', 28, 'email', 'eve@example.com' }

Duser = ( name: 'Eve', age: 28, email: 'eve@example.com' )

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify correct hash syntax for storing key-value pairs
user = { name: 'Eve', age: 28, email: 'eve@example.com' } uses a hash with symbol keys and values inside curly braces, which is clear and easy to update.
Step 2: Evaluate other options for correctness and clarity
user = [ 'name' => 'Eve', 'age' => 28, 'email' => 'eve@example.com' ] uses array syntax incorrectly, C is invalid syntax, and D uses parentheses which is not valid for hashes.
Final Answer:
user = { name: 'Eve', age: 28, email: 'eve@example.com' } -> Option A
