Question

C is classified as a

• A. Object-oriented language
• B. Markup language
• C. Procedural language
• D. Scripting language

Hint:

Examples: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Procedural} &\rightarrow \text{C}\\ \text{Object-Oriented} &\rightarrow \text{C++, Java}\\ \text{Markup} &\rightarrow \text{HTML, XML} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall what each paradigm means.
Object-oriented languages organize code around objects, markup languages describe layout/display, scripting languages are typically interpreted glue code, and procedural languages organize code as a sequence of functions acting on data.
Step 2: Look at how C programs are structured.
A C program is written as a set of functions that are called one after another, working step by step on data - there's no built-in notion of objects or markup.
Step 3: Match it to the right category.
This function-driven, step-by-step structure is the hallmark of a procedural language.
\[ \boxed{\text{Procedural language}} \]
