Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The purpose of a compiler in programming is to convert source code into machine code
  • Source code: This is the human-readable code written by a programmer in a high-level language like C, Python, or Java. 
  • Machine code: This is the low-level language that the computer's CPU directly understands and executes. The compiler translates the source code into machine code, allowing the computer to run the program.
