A ______ error does not prevent the
a. syntax
b. hardware
c. logic
d. fatal

A “logic” error causes a program to produce unexpected results but it will not terminate the program from running.
Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.
Explanation of Solution
Logic error:
Logic error is called as a bug, which will make a program to operate with fault, in which the program may respond differently and can produce unexpected results.
- In this scenario, the program will work correctly but will produce output with errors.
- Once the program is in an executable form, test the program whether it has any logic error.
- The problem with the logic error is that it will not make the program to terminate or crash.
- The logic error will produce wrong output that may not be immediately identifiable by a programmer.
Explanation for incorrect options:
An error that occurs on the source code of a program is referred as syntax error because the computer programs strictly follow the syntax rules and if the code fails to prove its language syntax format, then the compiler will throw an error.
Hence, option “A” is wrong.
Hardware error is nothing but a malfunction of a hardware device, which is physically present in the computer.
Hence, option “B” is wrong.
A fatal error is an error that causes a code to abort. When this error occurs, the data in the program may be lost.
Hence, option “D” is wrong.
