Consider the GetArea Method from the Textbook Shown Below

Consider the getArea method from the textbook shown below:
Public int getArea()
{
If (width <= 0) { return 0; } // line #1
Triangle smallerTriangle = new Triangle(width - 1) ; // line #2
Int smallerArea = smallerTriangle.getArea() ; // line #3
Return smallerArea + width; // line #4
}
If line#1 was removed, what would be the result?

A) The recursive method would cause an exception for values below 0.
B) The recursive method would construct triangles whose width was negative.
C) The recursive method would terminate when the width reached 0.
D) The recursive method would correctly calculate the area of the original triangle.
