Solution

The correct option is A syntax analysis

The action of parsing the source program into the proper syntactic classes is known as syntax analysis.

A syntax analyzer or parser takes the input from a lexical analyzer in the form of token streams. The parser analyzes the source code (token stream) against the production rules to detect any errors in the code. The output of this phase is a parse tree.

In syntactic analysis, parse trees are used to show the structure of the sentence, but they often contain redundant information due to implicit definitions.

Parsing, syntax analysis or syntactic analysis is the process of analyzing a string of symbols, either in natural language, computer languages or data structures, conforming to the rules of a formal grammar.
