Multiple Choice

Which file name follows formatting conventions?

When naming files, readability, consistency, and clear versioning matter. The best choice uses an underscore to separate words and places a four-digit year after the descriptive part, so the name reads as two clear pieces: the content and the time frame. This makes the file easy to read at a glance, easy to sort chronologically, and safe across systems that don’t handle spaces well. The capitalization helps distinguish the words, which improves scanning quickly. The other options fall short in one way or another: all lowercase reduces immediate readability, a missing separator between the words and the year makes parsing harder, and using a two-digit year can be ambiguous for future reference.
