Which of the following computer languages is/are assembly language(s)?
1. Python
2. Java
3. x86
4. MIPS
Select the answer using the codes given below:
A.1 only
B.2 and 3 only
C.3 and 4 only✓ Correct
D.1, 3 and 4
Explanation
Assembly languages are low-level languages specific to a particular computer architecture, using mnemonics to represent machine instructions. x86 (used by Intel/AMD processors) and MIPS (a RISC architecture) are both well-known assembly languages tied to their respective instruction set architectures. Python and Java, by contrast, are high-level, platform-independent programming languages — Python is interpreted and Java runs on the JVM. Hence only 3 and 4 are assembly languages.
