Option D is the correct choice because it correctly represents the file path on a Windows system using backslashes to separate directory names and escaping each backslash with another backslash. Option A is incorrect because it uses forward slashes instead of backslashes. Option B is incorrect because it uses double forward slashes instead of a single backslash. Option C is incorrect because it uses only a single backslash and not the escape character.
