A	Assembler
B	Debugger
C	Runner
D	Compiler

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-2: -Both compilers and interpreters are used to convert a program written in a high-level language into machine code understood by computers. However, there are differences between how an interpreter and a compiler works.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interpreter in Java is a computer program that converts high-level program statement into Assembly Level Language. It is designed to read the input source program and then translate the source program instruction by instruction.

Detailed explanation-4: -A high-level language is a programming language that uses English and mathematical symbols in its instructions. To execute a program in a high-level language, it can be compiled or interpreted. A compiler translates the entire program written in a high-level language to machine language prior to execution.
