Answer and explanation
Correct answer
B. Make the rule clearer and easier to explain. Practice reading a real example through the branches and return values until the flow is easy to say out loud.
Why
The best review comment anchors the change to readability, correctness, and future maintenance. Skipping narration hides misunderstandings until the wrong row or edge case appears.
