In the past 25 years, what programming language design criterion was most emphasized?

A	Efficiency of execution
B	Simplicity and abstraction
C	Logical or mathematical precision
D	Object-Oriented approach to abstraction

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Significant object-oriented languages include: Ada, ActionScript, C++, Common Lisp, C#, Dart, Eiffel, Fortran 2003, Haxe, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, logo, MATLAB, Objective-C, Object Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Raku, Ruby, Scala, SIMSCRIPT, Simula, Smalltalk, Swift, Vala and Visual Basic.NET.

Detailed explanation-2: -Java is one of the best and most widely used programming languages for OOP. Java has a large community with lots of resources and libraries, so it is easy for beginners to learn.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first programming language widely recognized as “object oriented” was Simula, specified in 1965. Like Sketchpad, Simula featured objects, and eventually introduced classes, class inheritance, subclasses, and virtual methods.

Detailed explanation-4: -Used for simulating system behavior in the late 1960s, SIMULA was the first object-oriented language. In the 1970s, Xerox’s Smalltalk was the first object-oriented programming language, which was used to create the graphical user interface (see Xerox Star).
