Answer is (C). The goal of structured programming is to able to infer the flow of control from the program text . It means user can execute the code according to his requirement. $C$ and Pascal are good example of structured programming. In structured programming control passes one instruction to another instruction in sequential manner.

Avoiding the use of GOTO statements is not the goal of structured programming, it (avoiding the use of GOTO) is one of the requirements for a program to be structured.

Answer: $C$

The main goal of structured programming is to get an understanding about the flow of control in the given program text. In structure programming various control structures such as switch-case, if-then-else, while, etc. allows a programmer to decode the flow of the program easily

The difference between B and C is that C is more prior than B.

Before compiling the final raw code that is machine dependent, there are various machine independent intermediate representations among which is "SSA" static single assignment.

The SSA works on program's text and do not include any loops. So yes before the actual compiled code, through SSA we can understand the structure and flow of control of our program.

 

A should/must required lecture for understanding SSA: Go classes SSA (Deepak's sir)
