Explanation:

In the above program, we created a class Sample that contains a data member countries. Here, countries is an array of strings. Here, we implemented a default property to set and get the values of the countries array.

After that, we created a module Module1 that contains the Main() method, the Main() method is the entry point for the program. And, we created an object of the Sample class and then set the values of data members using object name with specified index and then print the country names on the console screen.
