Which of the following is not a correct way to initialize an object?

  1. Using constructor with parameters

  2. By assigning values directly to fields

  3. By using object initializer blocks

  4. By calling a method on the object right after its declaration

The correct answer is: By calling a method on the object right after its declaration

The other options (A,B,C) are all valid ways to initialize an object. Option D is incorrect because it is not a way to initialize an object, rather it is a way to call a method on an already initialized object. This means that the object has already been created and cannot be initialized again.
