A	Compiler
B	Interpreter
C	Converter
D	Assembler

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Compilers are used to translate a program written in a high-level language into machine code (object code). Once compiled (all in one go), the translated program file can then be directly used by the computer and is independently executable.

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: -A compiler is a translator program that converts a high-level language source program into a machine language object program.

Detailed explanation-4: -A compiler is a translator used to convert high-level programming language to low-level programming language. It converts the whole program in one session and reports errors detected after the conversion.
