Right Answer is: A
SOLUTION
The correct answer is a programming language.
- Python is an interpretable, high-level and general-purpose programming language.
- It created by Guido van Rossum and first published in 1991, Python's design philosophy stresses the readability of code with its impressive use of substantial white space.
- The goal of its language constructs and object-oriented approach is to help programmers write simple, logical code for small and large projects. Python is dynamically typed and dust-collected.
- It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (especially procedural), object-oriented, and functional programming.
- Due to its extensive standard library, Python is also defined as a "batteries included" language.
- Python 2.0, launched in 2000, added features like list comprehensions and a waste management system with comparison numbering.
- Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a big language upgrade that wasn't entirely backwards-compatible, and a lot of Python 2 code didn't run unmodified on Python 3.
- The Python 2 language was formally retired in 2020 (first set for 2015) and Python 2.7.18 is the final Python 2.7 version and hence the last Python 2 release.
