What benefit does placing the opening brace on the same line have in terms of class declarations and definitions?

Makes the code run faster
Allows more lines to fit on a page
Makes it easier to distinguish between a declaration and a definition
No impact

The correct answer is: Makes it easier to distinguish between a declaration and a definition

Placing the opening brace on the same line as a class declaration or definition can improve readability and make it easier to distinguish between the two. This is because the opening brace indicates the start of a block, and keeping it on the same line as the class name or definition immediately shows where the class declaration or definition begins. Option A is incorrect as it suggests that this formatting method has an impact on the performance or speed of the code, which is not the case. Option B is also incorrect because the length of a page does not affect the readability of code. Finally, option D is incorrect as placing the opening brace on the same line does have an impact, as mentioned earlier, on the readability and organization of code.
