Android releases are given names derived from?a.American Statesb.Foodc.Strange Animals and Adjectivesd.Marvels Movies

The correct answer is b. Food.

Android, the operating system developed by Google, has a unique naming convention for its versions, which are named after various desserts and other food items. This naming tradition began with Android 1.5, which was called "Cupcake," and continued through numerous versions, with names like "Donut," "Eclair," "Froyo," "Gingerbread," and "Honeycomb," among others. This whimsical approach not only made the versions memorable but also contributed to a distinct identity for the Android platform.

However, starting with Android 10, Google decided to move away from this naming convention and simply refer to subsequent versions numerically to avoid confusion, especially since newer users may not be familiar with the dessert names and due to potential trademark issues.
