Q1:

Which of the following addressing modes, facilitates access to an operand whose location is defined relative to the beginning of the data structure in which it appears?

A ascending

B sorting

C index

D indirect

E None of the above

ANS:C - index

Logically it must be structure that stores the memory location; "location is defined relative to the beginning of the data structure". This is also known as direct addressing and the option nearest to a structure attribute that stores location is "index".
