What is static Analysis?
A
The analysis of batch programs.
B
The reviewing of test plans
C
The analysis of program code
D
The use of black box testing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Static analysis is a method of debugging that is done by automatically examining the source code without having to execute the program. This provides developers with an understanding of their code base and helps ensure that it is compliant, safe, and secure.

Detailed explanation-2: -It can be done without executing the program (hence the term “static” code analysis). This approach is a common method for detecting security problems and defects in programs written in any programming language. The process is often called static analysis because the program is not executed during analysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Static code analysis tools find code defects by examining the code without executing the program. As such, static code analysis has become an essential part of CI because: It is very efficient in identifying hundreds of types of defects such as concurrency, data flow, dynamic memory, and numerical defects.
