What is a pseudocode?
A
Story-telling written in English.
B
Complicated programming language.
C
Simple English language, with more detailed steps to describe the flow of algorithm.
D
Simplified programming language.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition: Pseudocode is an informal way of programming description that does not require any strict programming language syntax or underlying technology considerations. It is used for creating an outline or a rough draft of a program. Pseudocode summarizes a program’s flow, but excludes underlying details.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

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. There can be several approaches to solve a problem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pseudocode is defined as a method of describing a process or writing programming code and algorithms using a natural language such as English. It is not the code itself, but rather a description of what the code should do.
