How does the FileOutputShortcut example simplify file output?

Replaces FileInputStream with FileWriter
Eliminates the need for explicit decoration
Introduces a new method for BufferedWriter
Uses a special FileShortcut class

The correct answer is: Eliminates the need for explicit decoration

The FileOutputShortcut example simplifies file output by eliminating the need for explicit decoration. This saves time and effort for the programmer, as they do not have to manually handle buffer and writer objects. Option A is incorrect because it involves replacing one class with another, rather than simplifying the code. Option C is incorrect because it introduces a new method for a specific class, rather than simplifying the overall process. Option D is incorrect because it introduces a new specialized class, which may not be necessary for simpler file output tasks. The most correct option is B because it directly addresses and simplifies the process of file output.
