The correct answer is: Line continuation character.
A line continuation character is a special character that allows a line of code to be continued onto the next line. In most programming languages, the line continuation character is a backslash ().
For example, the following code snippet is valid in Python:
print("This is a line of code.")
print("This is another line of code.")
However, if we try to print the following code snippet, we will get an error:
print("This is a line of code that is too long to fit on one line.")
This is because the line is too long to fit on one line. To fix this, we can use a line continuation character:
print("This is a line of code that is too long to fit on one line.\n")
The line continuation character tells the Python interpreter that the line of code is not finished, and that it should continue on the next line.
The other options are incorrect because:
- An underscore is a character that is used to represent a variable name or a function name.
- A hyphen is a character that is used to represent a range of values.
- A line termination character is a character that marks the end of a line of code.
