What is decomposition?
A
Searches the computer’s memory for data
B
Repeats a program
C
Getting small part of a problem and adding them together
D
Breaking down a complex problem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Decomposition is one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. It involves breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller parts that are more manageable and easier to understand. The smaller parts can then be examined and solved, or designed individually, as they are simpler to work with.

Detailed explanation-2: -Decomposition is the process of breaking a large problem into more manageable sub-problems. The motivating principle is that large problems are disproportionately harder to solve than small problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Decomposition is a general approach to solving a problem by breaking it up into smaller ones and solving each of the smaller ones separately, either in parallel or sequentially. (When it is done sequentially, the advantage comes from the fact that problem complexity grows more than linearly.)

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of Decomposition in Computational Thinking To build shelves for a storage space, you practice decomposition by measuring the space, creating a blueprint or plan to determine the size of the shelves and the materials you need to accomplish the task.

Detailed explanation-5: -Decomposition is the process of breaking down a problem or challenge – even a complex one – into small, manageable parts.
