The Interpreter is a language processor but it does not generate intermediate object code or machine code.

So, the answer will be a compiler. i.e A

Anyone tell me the correct answer.

The Interpreter is a type of language processor but it does not generate intermediate object code or machine code. So how can be "D" a correct answer?

So, the Answer should be a compiler.

Language processor is a hardware device, so this shows it is not a software.

So the Answer will be Compiler, as per the definition.

Compiler: It is a computer program (or a set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language), with the latter often having a binary form known as object code.

Assembler: It is a program for converting instructions written in low-level symbolic code into machine code.

Interpreter: It is a program that can analyze and execute a program line by line.

A language processor: It is a hardware device designed or used to perform tasks, such as processing program code to machine code. Language processors are found in languages such as Fortran and COBOL.

A language processor is a hardware device designed or used to perform tasks, such as processing program code to machine code.

Compiler convert high level to machine level language & it is a program not a software.

Programs and software are same.

A compiler will converts source code to object Code. Then how it will be a Language processor.

Compiler, assembler and interpreter are programs not softwares.
