A
Correct Answer
A compiler translates an entire source program into machine code (or another language) before execution; an interpreter executes source code directly, translating and running it line by line
Explanation
Compiled programs are translated into machine code ahead of time and run directly by the hardware, while interpreted programs are read and executed statement-by-statement by an interpreter at runtime.
