CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 298

Which of the following is the closest to machine language?

Answer options

• A. Scripted languages
• B. Compiled languages
• C. Query languages
• D. Assembly languages

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Assembly languages are the closest to machine language as they provide a more human-readable format for the binary instructions that the computer's CPU executes. In contrast, scripted, compiled, and query languages are higher-level languages that require further translation to machine code, making them less similar to machine language.
