Apache Spark is an open-source distributed computing framework widely used for big data processing and machine learning pipelines.
The core implementation of Spark is written in Scala (Option A), which runs on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine).
Spark also provides APIs for Java, Python (PySpark), R, and SQL, but its native language is Scala.
Options C (C) and D (C++) are incorrect; Spark is not written in these languages.
Python (Option E) is a supported API, but Spark itself is not written in Python.
Thus, the correct answer is Scala (Option A).
