Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In standard flowchart notation, each shape has a specific meaning. A diamond symbol is used for a decision or branching point. It usually contains a condition or question, and the outgoing paths represent results such as Yes/No or True/False.
Ovals are generally used for Start/End terminators, and straight or perpendicular lines are not decision symbols. Therefore, the correct answer is Diamond (solid line).
