Explanation

A secure coding practice refers to techniques or methods employed during software development to ensure that the software is resistant to security vulnerabilities and attacks. Here's why Option B is a secure coding practice: Checksums to verify the integrity of libraries: This is a common and important practice to ensure that the libraries and dependencies your code relies on have not been tampered with. By calculating and verifying the checksum (a hash value) of libraries at runtime, you can detect if any of the libraries have been altered or compromised. This helps prevent the use of malicious or corrupt code, ensuring the integrity of your application.
