Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two primary categories of programming languages are low-level and high-level. Low-level languages are languages that are close to machine language and hardware, such as assembly language. High-level languages are more abstract and require less knowledge of the underlying hardware, such as Java or Python. Mainframe and PC, hardware and software, and specific languages like COBOL and BASIC are all subcategories of either low-level or high-level languages. Therefore, C is the correct choice.
