What is the process of separating an algorithm into smaller parts called?

Debugging
Modularization
Design
Coding

The correct answer is: Modularization

Modularization is the process of breaking down a larger algorithm into smaller, more manageable parts. This allows for easier and more efficient debugging and coding. While debugging is a necessary step in the overall process, it focuses on finding and fixing errors in code rather than breaking down an algorithm. Design also plays a role in creating an algorithm, but it is not specifically related to breaking it down into smaller parts. Coding involves actually writing the code and implementing the smaller parts of the algorithm, but it is not the process of breaking down the algorithm itself. Therefore, option B, modularization, is the most accurate description of the process of separating an algorithm into smaller parts.
