Which algorithm category is used to determine the largest among three different numbers?*1 pointa. Sequentialb. Conditional (Selection)c. Iterative (Iteration)

To determine the largest among three different numbers, we would use a Conditional (Selection) algorithm category. This is because such a task requires making comparisons between the numbers to select the largest one, which is inherently a decision-making process based on the values of the numbers involved.

1. Conditional (Selection) algorithms are designed to evaluate conditions and execute corresponding actions based on whether those conditions are true or false. In this case, we compare the three numbers, using conditions (like if statements) to find and output the largest number.

2. Sequential would imply a straightforward execution of steps without any conditions, which does not fit the requirement of finding the largest number.

3. Iterative (Iteration) refers to repeating a set of instructions, which is not necessary when only three comparisons are needed.

Thus, the correct answer is b. Conditional (Selection).
