In the Receipt example, what is used to ensure the 'Tax' row aligns correctly with other rows?

A specific method call
Special alignment characters
Format specifiers in a format string
Manual spaces

The correct answer is: Format specifiers in a format string

Format specifiers in a format string are used to ensure the 'Tax' row aligns correctly with other rows in the Receipt example. The other options, such as a specific method call, special alignment characters, and manual spaces, may not be as reliable or efficient in achieving the correct alignment. Using format specifiers, the program can automatically adjust the spacing and alignment of the 'Tax' row, making it the most suitable and accurate option in this scenario.
