The following statement describes a specific concept. What is it called? a class of formal languages recognized by a linear-bounded automaton, more powerful than context-free languages.

About this MCQ

This Hard Theory of Computation (Automata) question asks: The following statement describes a specific concept. What is it called? a class of formal languages recognized by a linear-bounded automaton, more powerful than context-free languages. The correct choice is D. Context-sensitive language. Read the options below, commit to one, then use the explanation to see why that choice holds and why the others do not.

Theory of Computation (Automata) items like this one are written for Pakistan exams such as CSS, FPSC, PPSC, and NTS. The difficulty label is a hint about how much of the topic the stem assumes, not a score. Tags and exam names, when they are present, tell you where else the same idea is tested. Previous and next links stay in Theory of Computation (Automata) so you can continue the subject. Related questions point at nearby stems if you want another angle on the same idea.

Treat the explanation as part of the question, not a footnote. If you missed it, reread the stem against the correct option before you open the next Theory of Computation (Automata) item. A timed quiz is the same pool with a clock and a score. A past paper is a full sitting rather than this single question.

Correct answer

D. Context-sensitive language

Explanation

Context-sensitive language (option D) is the accepted answer to “The following statement describes a specific concept. What is it called? a class of formal languages recognized by a linear-bounded automaton, more powerful than context-free languages.”. Option A (Pumping lemma) does not fit this question. Option B (Kleene star) does not fit this question. Option C (String (formal language)) does not fit this question. For this Theory of Computation (Automata) question, the accepted answer is Context-sensitive language.
