Question

read this sentence.
\the term robot refers to any machine that is able to perform a complex task on its own, but whose actions or tasks are controlled by human programming.\
what type of definition is provided in the sentence?
extended definition
informal definition
simplified definition
formal definition

Explanation:

A formal definition typically has a structured format, often including the term, its category, and its distinguishing features. The sentence defines "robot" by stating it is a "machine" (category) with the features of performing complex tasks on its own and being controlled by human programming. This fits the structure of a formal definition. Extended definitions are more detailed/elaborate, informal are casual, and simplified are overly basic summaries, which don't match here.

Answer:

D. formal definition
