FINAL ANSWER 
Answer: A variable declaration in programming is a statement that reserves a space in memory for a variable and associates a name with it. This declaration specifies the variable's name and the type of data it will hold. When you declare a variable, you are telling the compiler or interpreter that there will be a place in memory where you will store some data, and you are defining the kind of data you plan to store there.

For example, in the C programming language, you might declare an integer variable named `age` like this:

```c
int age;
```

This tells the compiler that `age` will hold an integer value. After declaring a variable, you can then initialize it by assigning it a value, like so:

```c
age = 30;
```

Variable declaration is a fundamental concept in programming, as it defines the data type for the variable and how much space needs to be allocated in memory.
