The correct answer is: A. Interactive
An interactive process is one in which the user can provide input and receive output in real time. This is in contrast to a batch process, which is one in which the user does not interact with the process while it is running.
When communicating with a file from a terminal, the user can provide input by typing commands and receive output by seeing the results of those commands displayed on the screen. This is an example of an interactive process.
The other options are incorrect. B, interrogation, is not a technical term that is used to describe the process of communicating with a file from a terminal. C, heuristic, is a type of problem-solving approach that uses trial and error to find a solution. This is not the same as the process of communicating with a file from a terminal. D, all of the above, is incorrect because only option A is correct. E, none of the above, is also incorrect because option A is correct.
