Programs written in low-level languages (select all that apply)
A
are less memory intensive
B
allow the programmer to directly control hardware (in embedded systems)
C
easy to write and test
D
easy to run on any machine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Low-level languages are designed to operate and handle the entire hardware and instructions set architecture of a computer directly. Low-level languages are considered to be closer to computers. In other words, their prime function is to operate, manage and manipulate the computing hardware and components.

Detailed explanation-2: -Assembly language is still used today, for example, in low-level embedded systems and device drivers. It is faster to run because it doesn’t need as much translation as a high-level language (see Translator section for more information).

Detailed explanation-3: -What programming languages are used in embedded systems? Developers use a variety of programming languages in embedded systems. The most used languages include C, C++, Python, MicroPython, and Java.

Detailed explanation-4: -Programs and applications written in low-level language are directly implemented by the computing hardware, without any further interpretation or translation. Machine language and assembly language are common examples of low-level languages.
