 a.  2010Car
 b.  car/2010
 c.  car2010
 d.  cars_2010


Your answer: d
Correct answer: c


This libref follows all three rules for valid librefs. A libref must have a length of one to eight characters, and must begin with a letter or underscore. The remaining characters must be letters, numbers, or underscores.
