Which of the following statements is associated with decision-making in programming?

  1. Statement

  2. Decision/condition

  3. Multiple-Condition

  4. Condition

The correct answer is: Decision/condition

The statement associated with decision-making in programming is the one that refers specifically to decisions and conditions. In programming, decision-making is often implemented through conditional statements that allow the flow of execution to change based on certain criteria being met. This is exemplified in constructs like "if", "else if", and "else" which all depend on evaluating a condition. When a condition evaluates to true or false, the program can choose different paths of execution. This ability to branch the logic of the program based on conditions is foundational in creating dynamic and responsive applications. The other options, while related to programming, do not specifically encompass the concept of decision-making in the same manner. Options such as "Statement" and "Condition" are broader or more general terms that do not encapsulate the decision-making process explicitly. "Multiple-Condition" could allude to decision-making but is less specific and doesn’t directly relate to the main function of making a decision based on a condition in a programming context.
