What problem arises from using expressions as arguments in macro calls?

  1. The compilation time increases.

  2. The expressions may not be evaluated.

  3. The evaluation precedence may differ from expectations.

  4. The macro cannot be expanded.

The correct answer is: The evaluation precedence may differ from expectations.

Using expressions as arguments in macro calls can lead to issues with evaluation precedence. This means that the way in which the expressions are evaluated may not line up with what the user expects, potentially causing unexpected results or errors. Option A and D are incorrect because they are not specific enough and do not address the issue of evaluation precedence. Option B may seem like a potential problem, but it is not the main issue that arises from using expressions as arguments in macro calls.
