____ is a set of rules that is unique to each programming language which defines how commands and instructions should be structured and ordered.
A
None of these.
B
Pseudocode
C
Algorithm
D
Syntax
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In computer science, the syntax of a computer language is the rules that define the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured statements or expressions in that language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flowcharts and pseudo code are both used before writing code, but pseudocode is linear while a flow chart isn’t. Also, a flowchart is graphical, while pseudocode is technical. With that in mind, a flow diagram is suitable for communicating between non-technical people and programmers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms. Pseudocode is a “text-based” detail (algorithmic) design tool. The rules of Pseudocode are reasonably straightforward. All statements showing “dependency” are to be indented. These include while, do, for, if, switch.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flowcharts and algorithms are both required for every programming language. It helps to solve complex problems as it breaks down into simpler steps. A flowchart is the graphical representation of the steps of a program, while an algorithm is a step-by-step method written in simple English.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pseudocode is sometimes used as a detailed step in the process of developing a program. It allows designers or lead programmers to express the design in great detail and provides programmers a detailed template for the next step of writing code in a specific programming language.
