[C#6] It's common to include in an exception's error message a variable's or property's identifier. This information can help a client-code programmer understand the context in which the exception occurred. Prior to C# 6, you had to hard code these identifiers into your error-message strings. As of C# 6, you can instead use the ________ operator, which returns a string representation of the identifier enclosed in parentheses. a)valueof b)string c)characters d)nameof
d)nameof
