Identify columns to use as a primary key

Question

Good Afternoon,
Is there a way using dynamic SQL to scan a table to identify the columns to use as the primary key?.
Thank you in advance.

I converted
Prashanth's query to dynamic sql:
DECLARE @SQLString nvarchar(500)
DECLARE @YourTableName nvarchar(128)
SET @YourTableName = 'YourTableName'
SET @SQLString =
SELECT
TAb.TABLE_NAME,
Col.Column_Name,
Constraint_Type
from
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS Tab,
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE Col
WHERE
Col.Constraint_Name = Tab.Constraint_Name
AND Col.Table_Name = Tab.Table_Name
AND Constraint_Type = ''PRIMARY KEY''
AND Tab.Table_Name = ''' + @YourTableName + '''
--PRINT @SQLString
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLString
GO

Didnt understand why you need to make it dynamic here
There's nothing which requires the query to be dynamic as per the above
