To change how information is represented so that it can be read by a person.

• A. Decode
• B. Encode
• C. ASCII
• D. Binary

Answer: (A)

This question tests how we convert data into a form a person can read. When information is stored or transmitted in a coded or machine-friendly way, decoding is the process of turning that representation back into readable text or images for humans. So, decoding is the act of changing the representation so a person can understand it.

Encoding, on the other hand, is the opposite: taking human-readable data and converting it into a form suitable for machines or transmission, not for direct reading by a person.

ASCII and Binary are examples of ways data can be represented, but they describe formats rather than the action of making something readable. Decoding is what you do to make those representations understandable by a person.
