Haha, D) is a classic answer choice to mess with us. No way that regex matches 'any string'.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) It matches float numbers with thousand separators, as the regular expression includes a period for decimal numbers.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The \\d+ could also match integers, right? I'll go with C) just to be safe.

I think it's B as well. The \\d+ matches one or more digits, and the optional \\.[0-9]+ part matches the decimal part.
