Cyclomatic Complexity, no doubt. Although I still can't figure out why it's called 'Cyclomatic' - it's not like we're dealing with bicycle parts here.

Exactly, the higher the cyclomatic complexity, the more potential paths there are to test.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's a measure of how many decision points there are in a program.

I think it's called 'Cyclomatic' because it's related to the number of independent paths through the code.

Cyclomatic Complexity, for sure. It's the only one that sounds like a real software metric and not just a random programming term.

Ah, it's gotta be Cyclomatic Complexity. I can almost picture McCabe's diagrams in my head.

Hmm, I think it's Lines of Code. That's a classic software metric, right?

I agree with Nathan. B) Cyclomatic Complexity is a better indicator of program complexity than just counting lines of code.

I think it's B) Cyclomatic Complexity because it measures the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code.

Definitely Cyclomatic Complexity. I remember learning about this metric in my software engineering class.

Lines of code is a measure of the size of a program, but it's not the same as Cyclomatic Complexity.

No, knots are not a software metric. It's important to understand the different metrics used in software development.
