A
Decision (Selection)
B
Loop (Iteration)
C
Order (Sequence)
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A flowchart needs to represent a situation where the user is asked to enter his age, the age is read into the system andthe system outputs a ‘Thank You’ message. This is an example of. Decision. Loop.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to its formal definition, an algorithm is a finite set of instructions carried out in a specific order to perform a particular task. It is not the entire program or code; it is simple logic to a problem represented as an informal description in the form of a flowchart or pseudocode.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between Pseudocode and Flowchart is that pseudocode is an informal high-level description of an algorithm while flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm. An algorithm is a step by step sequence of solving a given problem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The following shapes are often used in flowcharts: Pseudocode is a method of describing computer algorithms using a combination of natural language and programming language. It is essentially an intermittent step towards the development of the actual code.

Detailed explanation-5: -A flowchart is nothing but a pictorial representation of an algorithm.
