The correct answer is A. Precedence.
Precedence is the order in which operators are evaluated in an expression. Operators with higher precedence are evaluated before operators with lower precedence. For example, in the expression 2 + 3 * 4, the multiplication is evaluated before the addition because multiplication has a higher precedence than addition.
Associativity is the order in which operands are grouped together when evaluating an expression. Operators with left associativity are evaluated from left to right, while operators with right associativity are evaluated from right to left. For example, in the expression (2 + 3) * 4, the addition is evaluated before the multiplication because addition is left associative. In the expression 2 + (3 * 4), the multiplication is evaluated before the addition because multiplication is right associative.
Binary is a type of data that can have two values, 0 or 1. Ternary is a type of data that can have three values, 0, 1, or 2.
In conclusion, the answer to the question “The . . . . . . . . numbers indicate the order in which the computer performs the operation in an expression” is A. Precedence.
