Why is OpenMP designed such that it necessary to place the opening braces on a new line after an OpenMP directive rather than on the same line? For example:

#pragma omp parallel

$\{$

$...$

$\}$

Question $8$ options:

You do not need to place the braces on the next line. It can be on the same line.

So that compilers that do not recognize the directive can still continue with the next line without a syntax error and interpret the code as sequential code.

None of the other answers

Because Dr$.$ Moulema said so$.$
