Answers:

The \documentclass command is fundamental in LaTeX for setting up the document type and style. It helps define the global layout settings such as font size, paper size, margins, and more, ensuring consistency and professional presentation in the resulting document.

Document Type Selection: Specifies the document class to define whether it's an article, report, book, etc.
Page Layout Settings: Controls overall document layout such as page size, margins, and orientation. For example:
Font Size Selection: Sets the default font size for the entire document:
Document Style Control: You can control the number of columns, margin widths, and more.
Draft Mode: Can be used to show overfull boxes and formatting issues in the document.
