Explanation

Option C is correct because it properly uses json.dump() (not json.dumps()) to serialize the Devices data structure directly into a file object. The json.dump() function takes two arguments: the object to serialize and the file object to write to, which is exactly what OutFile provides after being opened in write mode ('w'). The file is also properly closed after the write operation.
