This seems like a straightforward question on cyclomatic complexity. I think I remember the formula being something like number of decisions plus 2, so I'll go with option A.

That makes sense, decisions in the code determine the complexity of different paths that can be taken.

I've heard that the correct way to calculate cyclomatic complexity is by counting the number of decisions in the code.

Option B seems like the way to go. Gotta keep those enclosed regions in check, am I right?
