What command is used to compile 'hello.cpp' using a macro?

$(CPP) hello.cpp
compile hello.cpp
CPP -o hello.exe hello.cpp
make hello.cpp

The correct answer is: $(CPP) hello.cpp

This answer is incorrect because the command '$(CPP)' is a shell macro and not a compiler macro. It will not compile the given C++ file. Option B, 'compile hello.cpp', is not a valid command and will not be recognized by the compiler. Option C, 'CPP -o hello.exe hello.cpp', will not work because 'CPP' is not a valid compiler command. Option D, 'make hello.cpp', will not work because 'make' is used to create executable files from multiple source files, not just one like in this case. Therefore, option A, '$(CPP) hello.cpp', is the correct command for compiling 'hello.cpp' using a macro.
