C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interpreters. An interpreter translates source code into object code one instruction at a time. It is similar to a human translator translating what a person says into another language, sentence by sentence, as they speak. The resulting object code is then executed immediately.

Detailed explanation-2: -The compiler or interpreter will take the source code and translate it into the machine code that can be executed by the processor. Machine translation is the process of translating one language into another using a computer.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is Compiler.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main difference between interpreter and compiler is that a compiler first checks and translates the whole source code into a target machine language. This compiled code is then executed by the machine it was meant for. On the other hand, an interpreter will translate and execute chunks of your program on the fly.
