Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Option D correctly instantiates System.Diagnostics.EventLog with the log name MyLog and calls the Clear() method to remove all entries. Options A uses the wrong log name (Application), while B and C use incorrect methods (Remove() and Delete() don't exist or don't clear entries).
