A
Computing
B
Pseudo code
C
Computer science
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Algorithm and Pseudocode are the two related terms in computer programming. The basic difference between algorithm and pseudocode is that an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure developed to solve a problem, while a pseudocode is a technique of developing an algorithm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Pseudo code is neither an algorithm nor a program. It is an abstract form of a program. It consists of English like statements which perform the specific operations.

Detailed explanation-3: -The difference between algorithm, pseudocode, and program is that algorithms are typically written in natural language or plain English, and pseudocode is written in a format like that of a high-level programming language. On the other hand, a program allows us to write code in a certain programming language.

Detailed explanation-4: -We can express an algorithm many ways, including natural language, flow charts, pseudocode, and of course, actual programming languages.
