#2  Why are anti-tank firing positions generally placed to the front left, or right of prepared infantry fighting positions or skirmish lines ?

a. Better side view and shot of approaching tanks or armored vehicles.
b. Opportunity to engage armor in advance of it's reaching skirmish line and prepared positions.
c. Anti-tank weapons draw tank fire.
d. All of the above.
