For Loop describes

• A. Loops that have a predetermined beginning, end, and increment
• B. A conditional statement
• C. A function that returns a value
• D. A keyword to declare a variable

Answer: (A)

A for loop describes a way to repeat a block of code a known number of times. It uses a counter that starts at a specific value, continues while a stopping condition is met, and increases by a fixed amount each iteration. Because the number of repetitions is planned from the start and the increment is consistent, you can predict exactly how many times the code runs. That’s what makes it a counted or predetermined iteration structure.

This differs from a conditional statement, which decides whether to run code based on a condition but doesn’t repeat by itself. It’s also not describing a function that returns a value, which focuses on computing and giving back a result. And it isn’t about declaring a variable, which merely creates storage.
