Correct option is A
· FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation) is specifically designed for scientific and engineering computations.
· It is highly efficient in handling numerical computations, matrices, and floating-point operations.
· FORTRAN is still used in applications such as weather modeling, computational physics, and high-performance computing (HPC).
· COBOL is primarily used for business applications and handling large databases.
· Java is a general-purpose, object-oriented language and not optimized for high-performance numerical computing compared to FORTRAN.
· Pascal was designed as a teaching language and is rarely used for scientific applications.
