Which term describes a group of code within a program that contains declarations and statements?

• A. Code
• B. Code Block
• C. Assembly Language
• D. Bytecode

Answer: (A)

Code is the set of instructions that make up a program. When we talk about a group of code within a program that includes declarations (like variable definitions) and statements (like assignments and calls), we’re referring to the code as a whole—the written content that the computer executes. A broader term like this fits the description better than a more specific subdivision.

A code block, while related, points to a particular region of code bounded by braces or indentation, not the entire collection of code in a program. Assembly Language and Bytecode are specific forms of programming representations, not generic groupings of code within a program.
