Question

A program that converts Source Code into machine code is called

• A. Assembler
• B. Loader
• C. Compiler
• D. Converter

Hint:

- Compiler translates high-level language to machine code. 
- Interpreter executes code line by line. 
- Assembler is for assembly language.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding source code translation. 
- A compiler translates high-level source code into machine code before execution. 
- Assembler is used for assembly language. 
- Loader loads the program into memory. 
Step 2: Selecting the correct option. 
Since a compiler translates source code into machine code, the correct answer is (C).
