Which answer is correct?

Use `open("file.txt").read()`. Python's garbage collector will close the file.

— gc_truster

Use a `with` statement: ``` with open("file.txt") as f: content = f.read() ``` The context manager guarantees the file is closed, even if an exception occurs.

— context_mgr

Use `Path("file.txt").read_text()`. `pathlib` is the modern approach and handles opening and closing automatically.

— pathlib_fan

Use try/finally: ``` f = open("file.txt") try: content = f.read() finally: f.close() ```

— explicit_close
