Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Compiler. Compiler-A compiler is a special program that processes statements written in a particular programming language and turns them into machine language or “code” that a computer’s processor uses. Example-Pascal, C etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compilers are a type of translator that support digital devices, primarily computers. The name compiler is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language (e.g., assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create an executable program.

Detailed explanation-3: -An IDE typically contains a code editor, a compiler or interpreter, and a debugger, accessed through a single graphical user interface (GUI). The user writes and edits source code in the code editor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Compilers. A compiler takes the source code as a whole and translates it into machine code all in one go. Once converted, the object code can be run unassisted at any time. This process is called compilation .

Detailed explanation-5: -Assembly code is converted into executable machine code by a utility program referred to as an assembler.
