Correct answer: A
When writing CSV files in Python, you must set newline='' when opening the file. On Windows systems, omitting this parameter causes Python to translate line endings automatically, which results in extra blank lines between rows when using the csv module. Setting newline='' disables this translation, ensuring consistent line breaks across platforms.
