A language that requires no knowledge of the hardware or the instruction set of the computer is called ____
A
A High Level Language
B
A Low Level Language
C
Machine Code
D
An Algorithm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -No particular knowledge of the hardware is needed as high level languages create programs that are portable and not tied to a particular computer or microchip. These programmer friendly languages are called ‘high level’ as they are far removed from the machine code instructions understood by the computer.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term “high-level language” (HLL) refers to the computer programming languages that not only allow the use of symbolic operators to signify operations and of symbolic names to represent data and data structures, but are also structured with syntax and semantics to describe the computing algorithm.

Detailed explanation-3: -High-level languages require the use of a compiler or an interpreter for their translation into the machine code. Low-level language requires an assembler for directly translating the instructions of the machine language. These languages have a very low memory efficiency.
