What is an associative array also known as?

  1. List

  2. Set

  3. Queue

  4. Map

The correct answer is: Map

An associative array, also known as a map, is a type of data structure that stores items in key-value pairs. The key acts as a unique identifier for each item in the array and the value is the data associated with that key. Lists, sets, and queues do not use key-value pairs to store data, making them incorrect options.
