Python - File Reading and Writing Strategies

Atry: file = open('data.txt', 'w') content = file.read() except IOError: print('File missing')

Btry: with open('data.txt', 'r') as f: content = f.read() except FileNotFoundError: print('File missing')

Cif os.path.exists('data.txt'): with open('data.txt', 'r') as f: content = f.read() else: print('File missing')

Dwith open('data.txt', 'r') as f: content = f.read() if not content: print('File missing')

Opening file in try block catches FileNotFoundError if file is missing.
Step 2: Read content if file exists, else print message
In except block, print 'File missing' to handle error gracefully.
Final Answer:
try: with open('data.txt', 'r') as f: content = f.read() except FileNotFoundError: print('File missing') -> Option B
