Explanation:

A formal definition typically includes the term being defined, a category it belongs to, 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, which fits the structure of a formal definition. A simplified definition would be more basic, an informal one less structured, and an extended one more detailed/elaborated (this is a concise, structured definition).

Answer:

B. formal definition
