B and D for the win! Option A is like a doctoral thesis, and C is just a train wreck waiting to happen.

B and D are definitely the best choices. A is way too long and C is just a mess.

Definitely going with B and D. Option C is like a bad case of emoji diarrhea. Someone needs to teach that candidate about restraint.

Option A is a bit too wordy and doesn't follow the PEP 8 guidelines for docstrings. Option C is a mess - what's with all the emojis?
