A Correct answer
Explanation

Natural is classified as a fourth-generation language (4GL) because it provides high-level constructs for database access and report generation, closer to human language than machine-oriented 3GLs like COBOL or C. Third-generation languages like C require explicit programming of low-level operations, while Natural abstracts these with built-in database manipulation and structured mode capabilities.
