    • Word

    Correct Answer
    A. Char
    Explanation
    A char is a data type in programming that is used to store a single letter or number. It is a memory location that can hold a single character. The other options, such as double and int, are used to store numbers with decimal points and whole numbers respectively. The option "word" is not a valid data type in programming. Therefore, the correct answer is char.

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. A finger
    Explanation
    A pointer is often used in computer programming to refer to a memory location. It is similar to a finger that points to a specific location in memory. By using a pointer, programmers can access and manipulate data stored in that memory location. Therefore, the analogy of a finger is used to explain the concept of a pointer in a relatable way.
