A
Step by step procedure for calculations
B
Type of programming language
C
Application code
D
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure that defines a set of instructions that must be carried out in a specific order to produce the desired result. Algorithms are generally developed independently of underlying languages, which means that an algorithm can be implemented in more than one programming language.

Detailed explanation-2: -An algorithm in math is a procedure, a description of a set of steps that can be used to solve a mathematical computation. For example, a step-by-step procedure used in long divisions is a common example of a mathematical algorithm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Step 1: Identify and define the problem. State the problem as clearly as possible. Step 2: Generate possible solutions. Step 3: Evaluate alternatives. Step 4: Decide on a solution. Step 5: Implement the solution. Step 6: Evaluate the outcome.
