It is easier for humans to understand.
The correct answer is: It is easier for humans to understand.
Source code is used in programming because it is a human-readable representation of instructions that can be understood and written by programmers. It serves as a set of instructions that tell the computer what actions to perform. While the computer itself doesn't understand source code directly, programmers can create, modify, and debug programs using source code as a means of communication with the computer. Other options mentioned, like making hacking harder or being faster to run, may be valid advantages of having source code but are not the primary reason for its use.
