Correct Answer: B

Explanation

Algorithms can be represented in various formats, depending on the audience and application. Pseudocode is a plain-language description of the algorithm’s steps, which is useful for planning and understanding before actual coding. Flowcharts offer a visual representation of the algorithm, showing each step in a sequence with symbols representing different operations, decisions, and processes. Code is the final implementation, translating the algorithm into a programming language that the computer can execute. Each representation format serves a unique purpose: pseudocode simplifies planning, flowcharts help visualize processes, and code implements the algorithm practically. Using these representations ensures a thorough understanding and smooth translation from idea to execution.
