Understanding the purpose of __() and _e() functions
In WordPress theme development, what is the main difference between the __() and _e() functions when preparing a theme for translation?
A__() is used only for admin pages, while _e() is for front-end display.
B__() returns the translated string, while _e() echoes the translated string directly.
CBoth __() and _e() return the translated string but differ in performance.
D__() echoes the translated string, while _e() returns it for later use.
