What is a macro in the context of a makefile?

A precompiled header file for quick compilation
A sequence of instructions for the linker
A command to clean temporary files in the project directory
A convenient string replacement tool

The correct answer is: A convenient string replacement tool

A macro in the context of a makefile is a symbol or placeholder that represents a longer or more complex string of code. It allows for easy substitution of text or code throughout the makefile, improving readability and reducing potential errors. It is not a precompiled header file (A), instructions for the linker (B), or a command to clean temporary files (C).
