Explanation

Option A (1) is correct because the entire JSON structure shown in the exhibit is a single JSON object - defined as one set of curly braces {} at the root level, regardless of what it contains inside (nested arrays, nested objects, or key-value pairs).

Distractors B, C, and D tempt test-takers into counting nested structures - for example, objects embedded inside an array or multiple key-value pairs - as if each were a standalone JSON object, but nesting does not create additional top-level objects. The number of JSON objects refers to the count of independently rooted {} structures, not every {} that appears in the document.

Memory tip: Think of a JSON object like a shipping box - no matter how many items are packed inside it, it's still one box. Count only the outermost {} wrappers that aren't contained within another {} to determine the number of JSON objects.
