What is a Break Point?
A
A facility which breaks a while loop or an ‘if’ statement.
B
A Facility which displays the current value of any variable. The value can be ‘watched’ as the program code is single-stepped to see the effects of the code on the variable.
C
A facility which interrupts a program on a specific line of code, allowing the programmer to compare the values of variables against expected values.
D
A film staring Keanu Reeves.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A breakpoint is a point in the program where the code will stop executing. For example, if the programmer amended the logic error in the trace table example they may wish to trigger a break point at line 5 in the algorithm.

Detailed explanation-2: -A line breakpoint causes the execution of a thread to suspend at the location where the breakpoint is set. Line breakpoints are set on an executable line of a routine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Breakpoints are most commonly used to interrupt a running program immediately before the execution of a programmer-specified instruction. This is often referred to as an instruction breakpoint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Breakpoints are one of the most important debugging techniques in your developer’s toolbox. You set breakpoints wherever you want to pause debugger execution. For example, you may want to see the state of code variables or look at the call stack at a certain breakpoint.
