A set of instructions that a computer follows in order to complete a task.

• A. Bug
• B. Variable
• C. Output
• D. Program

Answer: (D)

A program is a set of instructions that a computer follows in order to complete a task. These instructions tell the computer how to process data, what operations to perform, and the order in which to do them, including decisions (like if/else) and repeated actions (loops). When you run a program, the computer loads these instructions, the CPU executes them step by step, and the result can be output to the screen, stored in memory, or written to a file. A bug is an error in the instructions that causes incorrect results or a crash. A variable is a named storage location that holds data the program uses while it runs. Output is what the program produces for the user or another system after it runs.
