Last updated Jul 28, 2026
Correct Answer:
Option C —
Computer understands only Binary Language
Why Binary Language?
Binary / Machine Language: Computers operate directly using electronic switches (transistors) that represent two states: ON (1) and OFF (0). Therefore, the CPU can natively understand and execute only binary code.
Assembly Language: A low-level programming language that uses mnemonics (like ADD or MOV), but it must first be translated into binary code by an assembler.
High-Level Languages (C, BASIC, Python, etc.): Human-readable programming languages that must be translated into binary code using a compiler or interpreter before the computer hardware can execute them.
