MATLAB - File I/O

Consider this MATLAB code snippet:

T = readtable('data.csv');
writetable(T, 'output.csv');

If data.csv contains mixed numeric and text data, what is a common error to watch for?

AUsing <code>csvwrite</code> to write tables causes incorrect output

BUsing <code>writetable</code> on a numeric matrix causes syntax error

CForgetting to close the file after reading causes runtime error

DUsing <code>readmatrix</code> instead of <code>readtable</code> causes syntax error

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand data type in CSV
Mixed numeric and text data require table format to preserve all data correctly.
Step 2: Identify correct write function
csvwrite only supports numeric data and will fail or produce incorrect output for tables.
Final Answer:
Using csvwrite to write tables causes incorrect output -> Option A
Quick Check:
csvwrite not for tables = error [OK]

Quick Trick: Use writetable for mixed data, not csvwrite [OK]
