• B. Source language
• C. High-level language
• D. Object language
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Source language

The language that is an input for statement translation is called Source language.

The source language is the language being translated from; it is the antonym of the target language, which is the language being translated to. Part of the difficulty in translation arises due to the lexical gap and syntactical differences between the source language and the target language, especially between two languages belonging to different language families. In most professional settings, the source language is also the translator's second language.
