What is a key benefit of using only basic, common features in generated makefiles?

Enhanced performance of the compiled program
Broader compatibility with different make programs
Smaller compiled executable size
Easier integration with version control systems

The correct answer is: Broader compatibility with different make programs

Using only basic, common features in generated makefiles ensures that the makefiles are compatible with different make programs, which makes it easier for collaborators and different systems to use. Choosing more advanced features can cause compatibility issues, especially with older versions of make programs. Enhanced performance (A) and smaller executable size (C) are not benefits of using basic features, and can be achieved through other means. Easier integration with version control systems (D) is not a direct benefit of using basic features, but it can be achieved by avoiding more complex features that may cause issues with version control.
