Which of these logical operators is used to perform a logical 'exclusive or'?

The correct answer is: ^

The logical 'exclusive or' operator, also known as XOR, returns true only if one of the operands is true and the other is false. This type of operation is not possible with a single logical operator. Option A (!) is the logical 'not' operator, which reverses the value of a boolean expression. Options B (&&) and C (||) are the logical 'and' and 'or' operators respectively, which both return true if both operands are true. Therefore, option D (^) is the only suitable choice for performing a 'logical exclusive or' operation.
