A
Oracle
B
Mat lab
C
Compiler
D
Assembler
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Compiler. It is a program that translates a source program written in some high-level programming language into machine code for some computer architecture. In simple language, it converts high-level language into machine language.

Detailed explanation-2: -A compiler is a computer program that translates a program written in a high-level language to the machine language of a computer.

Detailed explanation-3: -High-level compilers do not convert source code into assembly language. Rather, they convert it into object code/machine code directly. Assembly language is a human-readable version of object/machine code, designed for a programmer.

Detailed explanation-4: -A compiler takes the source code as a whole and translates it into object code all in one go. Once converted, the object code can be run at any time. This process is called compilation . All of the object files used in a program must be combined before the program can be run.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of compiled languages include C and its derivatives C++ and C#, COBOL, Java and Fortran. Examples of interpreted languages are Perl, Python and Ruby.
