What type of language is C++ considered based on its formatting rules?

Fixed form language
Free form language
Compiled language
Interpreted language

The correct answer is: Free form language

C++ is considered a free form language because of its flexible formatting rules that allow for variations in spacing, indentation, and the use of unnecessary characters such as semicolons. This makes it easier for programmers to write and read code, without being restricted to a specific format. Options A and C are incorrect because fixed form languages have strict formatting rules, while compiled languages are not defined by their formatting rules. Option D is incorrect because interpreted languages do not require code to be compiled before execution, while C++ does.
