What is recursion, as described in the provided text?

  1. An algorithm for sorting data

  2. A function calling another function

  3. A function calling itself

  4. A way to declare variables in C++

The correct answer is: A function calling itself

Recursion is the process of a function calling itself. This allows the function to repeatedly execute until a specified condition is achieved. Option A, sorting data, is incorrect because recursion can be used for a variety of tasks, not just sorting. Option B, a function calling another function, is not specific enough to describe recursion. Option D, declaring variables in C++, is incorrect because recursion relates to the execution of functions, not the declaration of variables.
