Translates low level assembly language mnemonic into machine code
A
Assembler
B
Compiler
C
Interpreter
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In assembly language, we use predefined words called mnemonics. Binary code instructions in low-level language are replaced with mnemonics and operands in middle-level language. But the computer cannot understand mnemonics, so we use a translator called Assembler to translate mnemonics into machine language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: The assembler program is used to convert mnemonic code to machine code. An assembler is a program that converts assembly language into machine code.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Assembler (a program) translates assembly code into machine code. Assembler language is just a more readable version of machine language (machine language in symbolic form instead of binary form). You write Assembly code; Assembler translates it into machine code; Control unit runs machine code.

Detailed explanation-4: -An assembler is a type of computer program that translates assembly language into machine code. Assembly language is a low-level programming language that is specific to a particular type of computer. Machine code is the native language of a computer and is the only language that a computer can understand.
