Correct:
C
Explanation
Programming languages are generally classified as either compiled or interpreted based on how the code is executed. Python is an interpreted language, meaning its source code is executed line-by-line by an interpreter (typically via bytecode and a virtual machine) rather than being translated into machine code before execution. This makes it highly portable and easier to debug.
- FORTRAN: A compiled language primarily used for scientific and numerical computing.
- Pascal: A compiled language designed for teaching structured programming and data structuring.
- C++: A powerful compiled language that provides low-level memory manipulation and is widely used for system software and game development.
In compiled languages, a compiler translates the entire program into machine code at once, whereas in interpreted languages like Python, the translation happens during runtime.
