The most appropriate piece of code to develop a function for in the provided example is the expression used for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit:

c * 9/5 + 32

This expression performs the same calculation each time for different values of c. By creating a function, you can abstract this repeated calculation into a reusable component. Here's how you might define such a function:

def celsius_to_fahrenheit(c):
    return c * 9/5 + 32

Then, you could use this function to print out the Fahrenheit values for different Celsius temperatures, like so:

print(celsius_to_fahrenheit(100))
print(celsius_to_fahrenheit(0))
print(celsius_to_fahrenheit(30))

This way, the logic for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit is encapsulated in its own function, making the code cleaner, more readable, and easier to maintain.
