Per Daniel Harabor (2011 AAAI paper), JPS (Jump Point Search) accelerates A* on UNIFORM-COST grids by which trick?

ASwitch to Dijkstra when goal is far from start
BSkip 'forced' chain of neighbours along straight runs
CUse a precomputed lookup table for every grid pair
DReplace heuristic h with constant zero everywhere
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Skip 'forced' chain of neighbours along straight runs
Harabor + Grastien 2011 'Online Graph Pruning for Pathfinding on Grid Maps': on uniform grids, intermediate equivalent paths can be skipped (jump points). Massive speedup.
