▶️ Answer/Explanation

Answer:
Abstraction is one of the key concepts of OOP in which unnecessary details are hidden or removed, leaving only the relevant information about an object. This reduces complexity and allows the programmer or user to focus on the essential features.

In OOP, abstraction helps manage complexity by hiding implementation details and exposing only the essential characteristics or functionality required by the user.
