The correct statement that generates the output "\"///" uses a specific combination of escape characters to ensure that the backslashes and quotes are represented accurately in the final output.

In Java, the backslash (\) is an escape character, which means it is used to introduce special sequences or to indicate that the character following the backslash should be treated differently. To actually print a backslash in the output, you need to escape it by using two backslashes, resulting in \\. Therefore, to print a single backslash followed by a double quote and then two slashes, you would need to employ the following reasoning:

  1. To print a backslash, you write \\.
  2. To print a second backslash, you also write \\. This results in \\\\ when combined.
  3. Adding the double quote \" means you will write \\\".
  4. Finally, append the two slashes //.

Putting it all together gives you \\\\\\\"//, which results in the intended output of "\"///" once it is processed.

Thus, the correct option provides the necessary escape sequences to achieve the desired result.
