D Correct answer
Explanation

In Perl regular expressions, a quantifier specifies how many times the preceding character, group, or character class should match. Common quantifiers include * (0 or more), + (1 or more), ? (0 or 1), and {n,m} (between n and m times). Character classes match sets of characters, metacharacters have special meanings, and assertions are zero-width matches.
