What is meant by 'suffix rule' in the context of make?

A rule that defines file naming conventions
A method to append additional dependencies
A way to teach make how to convert files based on their extension
A rule for determining the order of target execution

The correct answer is: A way to teach make how to convert files based on their extension

In the context of 'make', the term 'suffix rule' refers to a way to teach the 'make' tool how to convert files based on their extension. This means that for each file with a specific extension, 'make' will execute a specific set of commands or actions. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of the suffix rule. Option A refers to a naming convention, while option B refers to dependencies, and option D refers to the order of target execution. These are all different concepts and not directly related to the suffix rule in 'make'.
