Which technique allows a user to control the animation?

Interactivity
Looping
Programming
Scripting

The correct answer is: Interactivity

Interactivity is the technique that allows users to control the animation by responding to their inputs or actions. When animation incorporates interactivity, it enhances the user's experience by enabling them to influence the flow, speed, and direction of the animation based on real-time decisions or interactions, such as clicks, drags, or other types of user engagement. This user-driven control can lead to more immersive and engaging experiences, particularly in multimedia applications, video games, and interactive storytelling. In contrast, looping refers to the repetition of an animation sequence without user input, while programming involves writing guidelines or code for the animation but does not inherently provide real-time control to the user. Scripting is similar in that it often involves commands executed to create or manipulate animation but typically requires predefined instructions rather than allowing spontaneous user interaction. Thus, interactivity stands out as the technique specifically designed for user control.
