Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct function to use in this scenario is the tokenize() function with the regular expression '\s+'. This will split the contents of the employees element into a sequence of strings at every occurrence of one or more whitespace characters. Option A is incorrect because it includes a hyphen in the regular expression, which is not necessary. Option B is incorrect because '\x' represents a hexadecimal value, not a whitespace character. Option D is incorrect because '\x-' is not a valid regular expression.
