Answer
The UiPath varaiable UIPATH_ASSOCIATE_EXAM is said to be written in screaming snake case. This makes C the most correct answer to this question.
UiPath screaming snake case
The use of the underscore to separate words in a UiPath variable is called snake case, so option B is somewhat correct. But when all the letters are uppercase, the naming convention is known as screaming snake case so C is the most correct answer of the bunch.
Screaming snake case violates the UiPath RegEx rule ([A-Z]|[a-z])+([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9]) and as such it is not considered a valid variable name and will be flagged by the UiPath Anaylze File process.
Screaming snake case is commonly used for constants. In Java, all static final constants are written in screaming snake case.
