A function is BEST used for enabling programs to:

  1. Display graphics on the screen

  2. Interact with the user through buttons

  3. Perform calculations and logic operations

  4. Define variables to hold different values

The correct answer is: Define variables to hold different values

Functions are used to store a block of code that can be called upon multiple times throughout a program. Option A, displaying graphics, is more commonly done using a graphics library or an API. Option B, interacting with the user through buttons, can be achieved through event handlers or other means. Option C, performing calculations and logic operations, is typically handled by methods or operators. Only option D, defining variables, is a key use for functions. Defining variables enables the creation of different storage spaces for different values, helping to keep a program organized and efficient.
