Machine Code uses mnemonics to represent instructions
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A much more human friendly rendition of machine language, called assembly language, uses mnemonic codes to refer to machine code instructions, rather than using the instructions’ numeric values directly, and uses symbolic names to refer to storage locations and sometimes registers.

Detailed explanation-2: -It uses short mnemonic codes for instructions and allows the programmer to introduce names for blocks of memory that hold data. One might thus write “add pay, total” instead of “0110101100101000” for an instruction that adds two numbers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Assembly language uses mnemonics to represent instructions. Writing in mnemonics is easier for programmers because they are usually brief representations of the commands. They are quicker to write than binary and it is easier to spot mistakes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Machine codes are in binary, mnemonic codes are in shorthand English.
