    A program is neither a file nor a folder.  True or False?

    • False

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A program is not a file or a folder because it is a set of instructions or code that can be stored in a file or a folder, but it is not the same as the file or folder itself. A program needs to be executed or run by a computer or device in order to perform its intended functions, whereas a file is a container for storing data and a folder is a container for organizing files. Therefore, a program is separate from the file or folder that contains it.
