Fifth
B
Fourth
C
Third
D
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(3) Third-generation languages (3GLs) are high-level programming languages such as FORTRAN, BASIC, C and its successors, and Java. (4) Fourth-generation languages (4GLs) are closer to a human language since they use statements similar to it; they are commonly used in database programming, spreadsheets and scripts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Third generation languages (3GLs). 3GLs are called procedural languages or high level languages.

Detailed explanation-3: -Also known as a “3GL, ” it refers to a high-level programming language such as FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, Pascal and C. It is a step above assembly language and a step below a fourth-generation language (4GL). For an example of the difference between a 3GL and a 4GL, see fourth-generation language.

Detailed explanation-4: -Third generation (High Level Language) This means that one line of third generation code can produce many lines of object (machine) code, saving a lot of time when writing programs. Third generation languages can be platform independent, meaning that code written for one system will work on another.
