Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct Gradle statement for adding the AppCompat library to an Android application is option A: dependencies { compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.+" }. This statement adds the AppCompat library as a dependency to the project and allows the application to use its features, such as the ActionBar. Option B is incorrect syntax for adding a library dependency. Option C is incorrect because apply plugin is used for applying Gradle plugins, not library dependencies. Option D suggests adding a library to the defaultConfig block, which is not the correct way to do it.
