D. Machine language
ANS : D. Machine language
As computer is an electronic machine, it can feel only electricity. It cannot understand
human languages. So computer can understand a language which is directly related to
electricity. So which language the computer can understand? The answer is binary
language or machine language. The binary language consists of only two numbers 0
and 1 where 0 represent low voltage and 1 represent high voltage.
New words can be formed by mixing 0s and 1s. For example, 11 means 3, 100
means 4, and 101 means 5. Alphabets should be given some code so that they can be
easily converted to binary form. For example, in ASCII code A means 65, B means 66
and so on. Therefore 65 can be converted into binary form and when it is fed to
computer, it can be understood as we expected.
