Multiple choiceMediumchapter-1-curatedpremiumpython-fundamentalstracing-and-code-reading
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
C. When the rule is no longer easy to trace, explain, or change without breaking nearby behavior.
Why
A refactor is justified when the code stops communicating its intent. Trace one real example line by line and predict intermediate values before you start changing the code.
