Correct answer & explanation
✓
Filter(Accounts, Status = 'Active')
Uses the correct syntax: Filter(Accounts, Status = 'Active') with no quotes around the column name and single quotes around the choice value. Option D incorrectly uses double quotes around both the column name and value, which will cause an error. Options B and C also have wrong quotation usage. Therefore, only Option A is correct.
