Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Concision, precision, unambiguity
1. Mathematical language extends natural language to state results briefly, exactly and without double meaning.
2. Rhythm, humour and emotion are features of literary language and do not help prove results.
3. Length and repetition work against concision.
