Which of the following is not an algorithm?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: "D. shapoo instructions (lather, rinse, repeat)".

Explanation:

Among the options given, letter D is the only one which does not apply and  may not function as an algorithm. An algorithm is a set of rules and/or instructions which aims at solving a problem and/or task, therefore, "shapoo instructions" do not classify as an algorithm because they are only written informations to explain how to use a product (lather, rinse, repeat), rather than setting a procedure for solving a problem in terms of technology tools. All the other options are examples of algorithms because they already exist as such and also function as technology tools.
