The answer is "Option a"

Explanation:

Meta-character is a unique character, which is used in the system or information area, that provides information about the other characters. This type of character is used in both command-line and programming.

It has a particular meaning and should be prevented for reasons except for its particular importance. It attempts in the algorithmic technique to view all character as a fundamental ASCII instead of a specific purpose.
