What are the two major benefits of marking parameters as default in functions?

  1. Code simplicity and overload prevention

  2. Increased efficiency and type safety

  3. Reduced code and execution time

  4. Convenience and reduced number of functions

The correct answer is: Convenience and reduced number of functions

When parameters are marked as default in functions, calling those functions becomes more convenient since the default parameters can be automatically used. This reduces the need to write out specific parameters every time the function is called, making the code simpler and easier to read. It also reduces the number of functions that need to be created for similar operations, leading to more efficient code. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the benefits of default parameters. Option A mentions code simplicity, which is correct, but it is not the major benefit of using default parameters. Overload prevention is not a relevant benefit in this case. Option B mentions increased efficiency, which is partially true, but it is not a major benefit of using default parameters. Type safety is not directly related to default parameters. Option C mentions reduced code and execution time, which is not true since using default parameters does not necessarily reduce the amount of
