Why does this Ruby code raise an error?

class User
  def initialize
    @name = name
  end
end
user = User.new("Alice")

AInstance variable @name cannot be assigned

Binitialize does not accept parameters but is called with one

CClass User is missing end keyword

DUser.new cannot be called without arguments

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check initialize method parameters
The initialize method is defined without parameters but User.new is called with one argument.
Step 2: Understand argument mismatch error
This causes an argument error because the method does not expect any arguments.
Final Answer:
initialize does not accept parameters but is called with one -> Option B
Quick Check:
initialize parameters must match new arguments [OK]

Quick Trick: initialize parameters must match arguments passed to new [OK]
