Which JSON script is properly formatted? A. B. C. D.

The correct answer is D. [ { "subject": { "title": "Art History", "listing": "elective", "session": "Spring" } } ]. Option D is properly formatted JSON because it follows all JSON structural rules: it uses an array containing an object, with a key ('subject') mapped to a nested object whose key-value pairs use valid strings for both keys and values, with correct use of colons, commas, curly br

Explanation

Option D is properly formatted JSON because it follows all JSON structural rules: it uses an array containing an object, with a key ('subject') mapped to a nested object whose key-value pairs use valid strings for both keys and values, with correct use of colons, commas, curly braces, and square brackets. The data is well-structured with no formatting violations. While options A, B, and C may appear syntactically similar, this question appears to be testing recognition of properly nested and semantically consistent JSON structures where D represents the cleanest, most conventionally correct formatting pattern.
