A
Nothing
B
Flow chart uses symbols

Pseudocode is more colorful
D
Flow chart has data flow arrows
E
Pseudocode and flow charts both use arrows for data flow
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main difference between DFD and Flowchart is that DFD is a graphical diagram that represents the data flow of a system while flowchart is a graphical diagram that represents the sequence of steps to solve a problem.

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: -The arrow is used to guide the viewer along their flowcharting path. And while there are many different types of arrow tips to choose from, we recommend sticking with one or two for your entire flowchart. This keeps your diagram looking clean, but also allows you to emphasize certain steps in your process.

Detailed explanation-4: -A flowchart commences at ‘start’ and is completed with a ‘stop’. This is essentially a non-dynamic system. On the other hand, data flow diagrams describe the path of data from external sources into processes and data stores that reside within a system.

Detailed explanation-5: -C. A flowchart is a diagrammatic description of an algorithm, whilst pseudocode is a textual description of an algorithm.
