In JavaScript, assigning an empty pair of quotes to a variable creates an empty string.
* Variable Assignment:
* Given the code:
var data = "";
* The variable data is assigned an empty string.
* Explanation:
* Option A: Null is incorrect because the variable is assigned an empty string, not null.
* Option B: A single-character string is incorrect because the string is empty.
* Option C: Undefined is incorrect because the variable is assigned a value, even though it is an empty string.
* Option D: An empty string is correct because "" represents an empty string.
