Which term is a named group of programming instructions, used as reusable abstractions to reduce complexity?

• A. Abstraction
• B. Function
• C. Frame Rate
• D. Boolean

Answer: (B)

A function is a named block of programming instructions designed to perform a specific task and be reused wherever that task is needed. By giving a task a name and packaging the steps into one unit, you can call that unit from different parts of your program without rewriting the steps each time. Functions can take inputs (parameters) and can return a result, which makes complex programs easier to manage because you break work into smaller, well-defined pieces.

The other terms aren’t the same thing. Abstraction is the broader idea of hiding details and exposing only what’s necessary, not a concrete reusable unit itself. Frame rate refers to how many frames per second are shown in an animation or video, which is about timing rather than code structure. Boolean is a data type that stores true/false values, not a block of instructions.
