'C# quoted string within a quoted string

I'm trying to run JQ on a JSON file, through command line from C# code. One of the required arguments includes spaces and quotation marks, so it is itself wrapped between quotation mark. However, this argument is formatted from another string which includes quotations marks:

var jq =  ".data[] | select(.name==\"mytest\") | .id == \"adxd\"";
var psi = new ProcessStartInfo
        {
            FileName = _exe,
            Arguments = $"-c \"{jq}\" {_settings.JSONFile}",
        };

However, the arguments turn out as:

-c ".data[] | select(.name=="mytest") | .id == "adxd"" json.json

Which of course is wrong. It should turn out as:

-c ".data[] | select(.name==\"mytest\") | .id == \"adxd\"" json.json

How can I ensure that the the arguments are decoded correctly with the correct 'levels' of quotation marks?
