Multiple choiceHardchapter-14-curatedpremiumadvanced-pythonresource-cleanup
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
D. Make the rule clearer and easier to explain. Use context managers to guarantee cleanup around files, locks, and similar resources even when the body fails.
Why
The best review comment anchors the change to readability, correctness, and future maintenance. Forgetting cleanup tends to create slow, operationally messy bugs rather than immediate syntax errors.
