Which of the following RegEx character sets does the '\w' meta-character most closely represent in Perl-compatible Regular Expression implementations?

EXPLANATION

The "word" meta-character \w in RegEx will match the full alpha-numeric range, basically the full alphabet as well as number characters, and includes underscores.


Note that it matches more alphabet characters than the standard a through z: pretty much any alphabet character, such as 'ñ', also match.
