Which of the following is the correct way to increment a Counter metric in Prometheus with Python?
- my_counter += 1
- my_counter.inc()

- my_counter.set(my_counter.get() + 1)
Answer:
B - is the correct answer
A - is incorrect as it uses the += operator, which is not supported by the Counter object
