Find the error in this Ruby class:

class Animal
  def initialize(name)
    name = name
  end
  def get_name
    @name
  end
end
pet = Animal.new("Buddy")
puts pet.get_name

AThe class name should be lowercase

BThe instance variable @name is not assigned in initialize

Cget_name method should be private

DThe initialize method is missing

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check variable assignment in initialize
The code assigns name = name, which only assigns the parameter to itself, not to an instance variable.
Step 2: Understand instance variable usage
The get_name method returns @name, but @name was never set, so it will be nil.
Final Answer:
The instance variable @name is not assigned in initialize -> Option B
Quick Check:
initialize must assign @name = name to store value [OK]

Quick Trick: Use @ to assign instance variables inside initialize [OK]
