When writing an algorithm, the process that is most closely related to "selection" is used to ask a question.
In the context of algorithms, selection typically refers to conditional statements (like if-else statements) that allow the program to choose one path of execution over another based on certain criteria or conditions. This involves asking a question: "Is this condition true or false?" and executing corresponding code blocks based on the answer.
The other options—randomizing results, repeating a step (which relates more to loops), and testing for bugs—do not directly involve the concept of selection in the same way.
