Option A uses a single backslash (\) which is an escape character in Java and needs to be escaped itself, therefore we need to use double backslashes (\). Option B has a typo with a forward slash (/) instead of a backslash (\) and also a misspelled file extension (txt instead of .txt). Option C uses a forward slash (/) which is not the correct syntax for a file path on Windows. Option D is the correct choice with the correct syntax using double backslashes (\) and a correct filename with a file extension.
