Why does the author prefer placing the opening brace on the same line as the precursor?

  1. It saves space

  2. It improves code readability

  3. Both A and B

  4. It is easier to navigate in 'vi' editor

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Placing the opening brace on the same line as the precursor is the preferred method because it not only saves space, as option A suggests, but it also improves code readability. Option D, although it may be true for some people, is not a universal reason for why the author prefers this style. Additionally, option B is more specific and encompasses both the advantages mentioned in options A and D. Option C is the most comprehensive and accurate choice.
