A development team is brainstorming how a new program should operate. Which of the following techniques can be used to depict the program visually during brainstorming?

A flowchart is a diagram that illustrates the steps of a process, system, or computer algorithm, using various symbols to represent different actions, decisions, and the flow of control, making it ideal for visual depiction during brainstorming.

A spreadsheet is used for organizing, analyzing, and storing data in tabular form, not for visually depicting program logic or operational flow.

Pseudocode is an informal high-level description of the operating principle of a computer program or algorithm, using a mix of natural language and programming constructs, but it is textual, not visual.

Branching is a programming construct (a decision point leading to different paths) that might be represented within a flowchart or pseudocode, but it is not a technique for visually depicting an entire program itself.
