Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Assembly language is an example of middle-level language. In assembly language, we use predefined words called mnemonics. Binary code instructions in low-level language are replaced with mnemonics and operands in middle-level language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Assembly languages are considered a low level language, while high-level languages such as C, Java, or Python use 0’s and 1’s instead of numbers, symbols, and abbreviations.

Detailed explanation-3: -C and C++ are now considered low-level languages because they have no automatic memory management.

Detailed explanation-4: -WebAssembly is a new type of code that can be run in modern web browsers-it is a low-level assembly-like language with a compact binary format that runs with near-native performance and provides languages such as C/C++, C# and Rust with a compilation target so that they can run on the web.

Detailed explanation-5: -The only thing which is lower level than C is Assembly, which is not architecture-independent. There is no official definition, but historically assembler/machine code was considered low-level and any language more abstracted was high-level.
