What should you do to prevent the unexpected evaluation order of arguments in macros?

Use functions instead of macros.
Use parentheses around all expressions in the macro.
Declare macros within a function body.
Avoid using expressions as macro arguments.

The correct answer is: Use parentheses around all expressions in the macro.

Parentheses should be used around all expressions in the macro to specify the evaluation order. This is because macros perform a direct substitution of its arguments into the code, and without proper parentheses, the order of evaluation can be affected. Option A is incorrect because functions follow a strict evaluation order, which is not required for macros. Option C is incorrect because declaring macros within a function body does not affect the evaluation order of its arguments. Option D is incorrect because expressions are commonly used as macro arguments and avoiding them may not always be feasible.
