Q1. A set of step-by-step procedures for accomplishing a task is known as _______.
A Firmware Program
B Software bug
C Hardware Program
D Algorithm Correct
Explanation
An algorithm is a finite, ordered set of steps used to solve a problem or complete a task. That exactly matches the idea of step-by-step procedures. A firmware programme is software stored in hardware to control a device, not the general name for a procedure. A software bug is an error or defect in a programme. A hardware programme is not the standard term for such instructions; hardware refers to physical components. Therefore the procedural definition points to algorithm.
