Explanation
Python is a high-level programming language because it uses human-readable syntax (English-like keywords, indentation, abstractions) that must be translated into machine code before a computer can execute it. Option A is wrong because machine language consists of raw binary instructions (0s and 1s) that CPUs execute directly - Python is many layers above that. Option B is wrong because natural languages (English, Spanish, etc.) evolved for human communication and have ambiguous grammar; Python has strict, unambiguous syntax rules by design.
Memory tip: Think "high-level = human-friendly" - the higher the level, the more it reads like English and the farther it is from the hardware. Python sits near the top of that ladder.
