Terminal
- B.
Off-page Connector
- C.
On-page connector
- D.
Decision Symbol
Correct Answer
B. Off-page ConnectorExplanation
The symbol is used to connect flow-lines on separate pages. The letter in the center of the symbol indicates that the flowchart will continue onto the next page where a matching symbol (and letter) has been placed.Rate this question:

Algorithm
- B.
Flowchart
- C.
Pseudocode
- D.
Programming
Correct Answer
B. FlowchartExplanation
A flowchart is a diagrammatic representation that illustrates the sequence of operations to be performed to get the solution of a problem. It uses different shapes and arrows to depict the steps and decisions involved in the problem-solving process. Flowcharts are commonly used in computer programming and other fields to visually represent algorithms and processes, making it easier to understand and follow the logical flow of operations.Rate this question:
