Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The algorithm is completed when the statement ____ is encountered.
A
Return
B
Finish
C
EXIT
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Completeness: an algorithm is complete if it terminates with a solution when one exists. Admissibility: an algorithm is admissible if it is guaranteed to return an optimal solution whenever a solution exists.

Detailed explanation-2: -An algorithm is complete if it guarantees to return a correct answer for any arbitrary input (or, if no answer exists, it guarantees to return failure).

Detailed explanation-3: -What is exit() Function in C? The exit function in c is defined under the stdlib. h header file is used to terminate the function currently running. The fuction also terminates all the programs which are running, flushes all the file buffers, closes all the stream and deletes all the temporary files.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yes, an algorithm should always stop after a finite number of steps, otherwise we would call it a procedure or process or computation specification. A procedure that doesn’t halt for certain inputs can be considered partial algorithms. Algorithms are more useful, since they terminate for any input.
