B
A precise set of instructions
C
Shapes and symbols connected together
D
Breaking a problem down into smaller tasks
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An algorithm is a set of commands that must be followed for a computer to perform calculations or other problem-solving operations. According to its formal definition, an algorithm is a finite set of instructions carried out in a specific order to perform a particular task.

Detailed explanation-2: -An algorithm is a finite sequence of precise instructions for performing a computation or for solving a problem. An algorithm should produce the correct output values for each set of input values from a specified set.

Detailed explanation-3: -precise/unambiguous/well-defined: There can be no question about what it means. performing a computation/solving a problem/calculating a function: It has a job to do. solving/required output/effective: It should do the job correctly.

Detailed explanation-4: -➢ An algorithm is a finite set of instructions that accomplishes a particular task. ➢ In addition, all algorithms must satisfy the following criteria: ➢ An algorithm is composed of a finite set of steps, each of which may require one or more operations.

Detailed explanation-5: -An algorithm is a set of instructions for solving a problem or accomplishing a task.
