Which term describes lists of items of the same type that are accessed by numbers?

• A. One-dimensional arrays
• B. Local variables
• C. Arrays
• D. Functions

Answer: (C)

Arrays describe a collection of items that are all of the same type and are stored in order, with each item accessible by a numeric index. This is exactly what the prompt is describing: a list of items of the same type you access using numbers to locate each element. Local variables hold single values, not lists. Functions are blocks of code, not data structures for storing multiple items. One-dimensional arrays refer to a specific kind of array with a single index level, but the general idea here is the array itself—the structure that stores multiple same-type items and lets you access them by numbers.
