Solution

The correct option is B

Algebra


Algebra is the branch of mathematics in which we study the use of letters to represent numbers/quantities.

For example, ram bought mangoes, but we don't know the number of mangoes he bought. So, let's say he bought x number of mangoes.

Here x is an alphabet but represents the number of mangoes.
