Explanation of Solution

Rules for naming the C++ variable:

  • The name of the variable must begin with a letter or underscore.
  • The name of the variables is case sensitive.
  • The name of the variable can be constructed with digits and letters.
  • Special symbols other than underscore are not allowed in the variable name.
  • Valid variable names are, “i_think_i_am_valid”, “i_may_have_2_many_digits_2_be_valid”, “_I_start_and_end_with_underscores_”, “I_AM_LONG_AND_HAVE_NO_LOWER_CASE LETTERS”
  • Example for invalid variable name is “I_Have_A_Dollar_$ign”. This is invalid because the name contains the special character “$”.

From the given set of variable names, the invalid variable name is “I_Have_A_Dollar_$ign”. Hence the correct option is “d”.
