In flowchart terminology, which term refers to the visual description method that uses symbols linked by arrows?

• A. Decomposition
• B. Sequence
• C. Selection
• D. Flowchart

Answer: (D)

Flowcharts are the visual description method that shows a process by using standard symbols connected with arrows to indicate the flow of steps. This naming refers to the diagram itself—the method of representing how a process works visually. Decomposition is about breaking a problem into smaller parts, not about the diagrammatic method. Sequence is the idea of doing steps in a particular order, which flowcharts can illustrate, but it isn’t the term for the description method. Selection refers to a branching decision point within a flowchart, not the overall way we describe the process.
