Solution

The correct option is D A program which translates source program into object program

In computer terminology a complier means a program which translates source program into object program.

Compiler is a program that translates source code into object code. ... However, programs produced by compilers runmuch faster than the same programs executed by an interpreter. Every high-level programming language (except strictly interpretive languages) comes with a compiler.

Object code is the output of a compiler after it processes source code. Source code is the version of a computer program as it is originally written (i.e., typed into a computer) by a human in a programming language. A compiler is a specialized program that converts source code into object code.

A compiler is a special program that processes statements written in a particular programming language and turns them into machine language or "code" that a computer's processor uses. Typically, a programmer writes language statements in a language such as Pascal or C one line at a time using an editor.
