Type.GetProperties Method (System) | Microsoft Docs[^]:

Returns
An array of PropertyInfo objects representing all public properties of the current Type.
-or-
An empty array of type PropertyInfo, if the current Type does not have public properties.

A()?.Bb()?.C().D()

static Foo A() => null;

public class Foo
{
    public Foo B() => null;
    public Foo C() => null;
    public Foo D() => null;
}

...

Foo result = A()?.B().C().D(); // result == null; no exception thrown.
