The term "writability" refers to the ease with which a programmer can write or develop code using a programming language that is clear, correct, concise, and fast. Therefore, option D is the most suitable answer. Option A, efficiency, refers to the performance and runtime of programs written in a particular language. Option B, regularity, refers to the consistency and uniformity of syntax and language rules. Option C, orthogonality, refers to the independence of language features and their ability to work together in any combination. While all four aspects are desirable in a programming language, the question specifically asks for the quality that enables a programmer to express computation faster and easier.
