A low level programming language which uses mnemonics. These instructions are translated into machine code.
A
Machine Code
B
Assembly Language
C
Source Code
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Assembly language uses a mnemonic to represent, e.g., each low-level machine instruction or opcode, each directive, typically also each architectural register, flag, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Assembly language uses mnemonics to represent instructions.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A program called an assembler is used to convert the application program written in assembly language to machine language.

Detailed explanation-5: -In assembly language, mnemonics are used to specify an opcode that represents a complete and operational machine language instruction. This is later translated by the assembler to generate the object code.
