In C++, string literals must be enclosed in double quotation marks, so option B is the correct way to assign the string literal "Jane" to the string object name. Option A would assign a variable named Jane (which must be previously defined), option C uses single quotation marks instead of double, which is not allowed, and option D has an extra set of parentheses and uses an undefined variable name.
