in programming, a method is?
a named section of a program that performs a specific task
a set of coded instructions that tell a computer how to run a program or calculation
an action that an object is able to perform
something that is fixed (eg set) by a programmer during the creation of the programs code

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: A named section performing a task is more like a function (in some contexts) or a general sub - routine, but not the best definition of a method in object - oriented programming.
• Option 2: A set of coded instructions for a computer to run a program is a program or algorithm in general, not a method.
• Option 3: In object - oriented programming, a method is an action that an object can perform. This is the correct definition of a method.
• Option 4: Something fixed by a programmer during code creation is more like a constant or a variable initialization, not a method.

Answer:

C. An action that an object is able to perform
