What is the primary concern when C++ decides to trade execution speed?

  1. Programmer productivity

  2. Memory usage

  3. Programming language complexity

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Programmer productivity

C++ is known for its speed and efficient execution due to its low-level memory management. However, with this trade-off, it can also lead to complex and time-consuming programming tasks, impacting the productivity of the programmer. Therefore, the primary concern when C++ decides to trade execution speed is the programmer's productivity. Memory usage is not a primary concern because C++ is optimized for efficient memory usage. The programming language's complexity is also not the primary concern, as it is a known trade-off for C++'s speed and performance. Lastly, option D, "None of the above," is incorrect as the primary concern is indeed programmer productivity.
