How does make determine the default target?

It looks for the target named 'default'
It builds the target with the most dependencies
It selects the first target in the makefile
It prompts the user at runtime

The correct answer is: It selects the first target in the makefile

B is incorrect because make does not consider the number of dependencies when selecting the default target. Instead, it prioritizes the order of targets as they appear in the makefile, making C the correct answer. D is also incorrect because make does not require user input to determine the default target, so it does not prompt the user at runtime.
