Answer:
A compiler takes the program code (source code) and converts the source code to a machine language module (called an object file). Another specialized program, called a linker, combines this object file with other previously compiled object files (in particular run-time modules) to create an executable file. In short, it's A or D.
Explanation:
A routine or subroutine, also referred to as a function procedure and sub program is code called and executed anywhere in a program. FOr example a routine may be used to save a file or display the time.
