Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

✅ Cyclomatic Complexity Number

Explanation:

The complexity of code is primarily determined by Cyclomatic Complexity (CC), which measures the number of linearly independent paths in a program.

Why is it the correct answer?

Cyclomatic Complexity Number ✅
- It calculates the control flow complexity of a program based on decision points (if, loops, switches).
- Higher complexity means harder to test and maintain code.

Why are the others incorrect?

Efferent Coupling ❌
- Measures outgoing dependencies of a module, not code complexity.
Number of Source Lines of Code (SLOC) ❌
- Measures code length but does not indicate logical complexity.
Time taken to perform inspection ❌
- This depends on human effort and does not define complexity mathematically.
