Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept

A flowchart is a diagram that represents the logic of a computation as a sequence of steps, using standard symbols — ovals for start/end, parallelograms for input/output, rectangles for processing, and diamonds for decisions — connected by directional arrows. It is the established graphical, language-independent way to express an algorithm's control flow before any code is written.

Application

The question asks which tool gives a visual representation of computation logic. A flowchart does exactly this: each shape maps to one kind of operation and the arrows fix the order of execution, so the entire decision-and-loop structure of the logic is seen at a glance, independent of any programming language.

Contrast

  • Flow chart — a graphical notation of the algorithm's steps and decisions; this is a visual representation of logic.

  • Visual Basic — a programming language / IDE used to write and run code; you express logic as text, not as a diagram.

  • Foxpro — a database management system and procedural language for handling data, not a way to draw logic.

  • VI editor — a text editor for typing and editing files; it displays text, it does not diagram control flow.

Only the flowchart is a visual depiction of logic; the other three are text-based programming or editing tools.
