The ability for a system of instructions to simulate a Turing Machine is called ____
A
Turing Completeness
B
Simulation
C
Turing Halting
D
None of the mentioned
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Turing completeness is the ability for a system of instructions to simulate a Turing machine. A programming language that is Turing complete is theoretically capable of expressing all tasks accomplishable by computers; nearly all programming languages are Turing complete if the limitations of finite memory are ignored.

Detailed explanation-2: -A Turing machine is a machine with a symbol reader, an infinitely long tape of symbols, and a set of rules for modifying the tape. A language is Turing complete if it can implement a simulation of any Turing machine.

Detailed explanation-3: -In computer science, a universal Turing machine (UTM) is a Turing machine that can simulate an arbitrary Turing machine on arbitrary input. The universal machine essentially achieves this by reading both the description of the machine to be simulated as well as the input to that machine from its own tape.

Detailed explanation-4: -In colloquial usage, the terms “Turing-complete” and “Turing-equivalent” are used to mean that any real-world general-purpose computer or computer language can approximately simulate the computational aspects of any other real-world general-purpose computer or computer language.

Detailed explanation-5: -A device or programming language is considered to be Turing Complete when it can replicate a Turing Machine by running any program or solving any problem the Turing Machine could run or solve. On the other hand, if a device or programming language is not able to do it, then it is said to be Turing Incomplete.
