Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

A good programming language should have features like:

  • Clarity, simplicity, and unity → makes programs easy to understand.

  • Support for abstraction → helps manage complexity.

  • Ease of program verification → helps detect and reduce errors.

  • Portability is desirable so programs can run on different systems.

Non portability is not an attribute of a good programming language because it limits the use of programs across platforms.
