What are non-executable lines embedded in code that describe sections of code?

• A. Documentation
• B. Conventions
• C. Comments
• D. Catch

Answer: (C)

Comments are non-executable lines embedded in code that describe what the code does, why a certain approach was chosen, or mark sections for readability. They are ignored by the compiler or interpreter, so they don’t affect how the program runs. Different languages have different ways to denote them, such as // or /* */ in many C-style languages, and # in Python. This is distinct from documentation (external or in-code docs), conventions (style rules), and catch (part of exception handling). So the lines that describe sections of code but don’t execute are comments.
