Ruby - Regular Expressions

Consider this Ruby code snippet:

text = "abc"
match = text.match(/d/)
puts match[0]

What is the problem here?

AThe regex pattern is invalid

BTrying to access <code>match[0]</code> when <code>match</code> is nil

CThe string <code>text</code> is empty

DThe <code>match</code> method does not exist for strings

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check the regex pattern and string
The pattern /d/ looks for 'd' in "abc", which is not present, so match returns nil.
Step 2: Identify the error cause
Trying to do match[0] when match is nil causes a NoMethodError.
Final Answer:
Trying to access match[0] when match is nil -> Option B
Quick Check:
Accessing [0] on nil causes error [OK]

Quick Trick: Check if match is nil before accessing [OK]
